Nobody Forced Me To Concede Electoral Victory To Buhari - GEJ by klanny: 10:37pm On Dec 17, 2016
Contrary to the initial claims by some Nigerians that GEJ was pressured to concede defeat during the 2015 general elections, the former president said on Saturday that he took the decision out of his own volition devoid of any pressure or persuasion.
.
.
He made the statement in a speech at Bingham University Nasarawa state, where he alongside former military Head of state Yakubu Gowon were conferred with honourary doctorate degrees.
.
.
He said he took the decision to save the nation from state of anarchy that would have ensued after the elections saying no one’s political ambition worth the blood of any Nigerian.

In his words, ‘’It is my belief that no one’s political ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian. And I am fulfilled knowing that my conceding while the votes were still being compiled, which was born out of my personal principles and convictions, is generating positive impact in other nations. .
.
Let me make it clear, that I was not persuaded to do so by anyone within or outside the country. I know it was the right thing to do. My mantra “my ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian” is my vow. It was not just a political slogan. .
.
One of the reason I convened the 2014 National Conference was to come up with a polity devoid of tension and crisis. A polity that will bring unity to this country. A polity that will not divide us along tribal, ethnic or religious lines."

To some extent, u practised wat u preached even though u had ur Achilles heel in other areas.For example ur mantra "my ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian ",u followed to the letter indeed nd not like other politicians who say sth bt do another thing entirely, if these sets of politician say a good morning to u, u will really need a clock to confirm if actually it's morning...

Lies have a lifespan.
Someday, truth shall surely prevail.

I know my opinion doesn't count, but thank you all the same for saving the country from a worse name than the present one.
Thank you Sir for not making the country be at war, only God knows who would gave died (friends/families you and i don't know could have been affected) if he decided to be greedy.
All the same, thank you.

Stop crying, tell us the change you've brought. We agree with you that he was a bad President, tell us what you have done better.

You see your reasoning is warped. Not everyone is partisan and that is the problem with you folk. I am not a Buhari supporter or fan. It is not logical to pretend that any person who is against Jonathan must be for Buhari.
I am not a politician just an ordinary Nigerian and we all witnesses to Jonathan's government. He was desperate for power but he was soundly rejected.The fact that he could not use incumbency is a testament to the level of rejection. He is a human being and deserves some peace and quiet if he shuts his mouth and stops trying to rewrite history which we are all witnesses

Well this thread is not about me so the childish tactic of changing the subject will not fool anyone.

This thread is about Goodluck Jonathan a hapless fellow,deal with that.

He is now trying to launder his image as a democrat when in reality he was a tyrant and a fraud who was overwhelmed by the demands of office and has made history as the first President to be kicked out by the people. He is now trying to repackage that reality

I am not Buhari's brother. We will vote him out in 2019 too.

Stop changing the topic. We are talking about Jonathan here

The response to Jonathan's egregious reign is not to mention Buhari.

So Jonathan was bad because he knew Buhari will be bad too?

Jonathan and his recent Hollywood appearance these days is laughable, anyone that is in direct contact with this man should advice him to stay of politics for now.

He is not good at it. Too much of public show up will soon become boring...

And you voted an unrepentant DICTATOR who his principal wrote a letter of recommendation for the Army to recruit him with a promise that he'll come back to complete his primary education and write WAEC and he didn't return to do so. A man that cannot keep to his promises, even his wife is fade up with him. A man that overthrew democratically elected government and return Nigeria to military rule which gave room for the likes of Abacha and IBB and this is how deadly corruption entered Nigeria and today he said he's fighting corruption and under his watch, over #200mil was used to clear grass in NE. A man that assembled criminals and call them saints. A man that failed all the military examinations. A man that said that Abacha didn't steal Nigerian money. Buhari is his name and only CLOWNS supports him.

We remember Orubebe's stunt and also have reports that you created and even named 'Nigerdelta Avengers'. However, when you realized that you were going to get the Gbagbo treatment, you got scared and made that historic call thereby leaving your acolytes confused.

Mr. Jonathan go and live your life quietly for the more you try to present yourself as a hero trying to make a comeback, the more of your misdemeanours will become public with many of them having criminal implications.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

Changing the subject won't work.
Who I voted for is NOT RELEVANT..I agree with EVERYTHING you say about Buhari but it has nothing to do with the topic here. The issue is Jonathan's claim that he believes his ambition was not worth spilling blood for.That is a lie and is not borne out by his actions/behaviour.
That is the topic of discussion

Your dictator cannot do what GEJ did, it takes a real man to do so and there's no REAL MAN in your dictator. Kiss The Truth.
