One of the high point of the last general election was Jonathan calling Buhari to concede defeat and congratulate him.

Though not compulsory, congratulating your opponent after an election breeds the spirit of sportmanship and brings peace.

This is what PDP never fails to do as a party even when they are not contented with the conduct of the election.

So the Bayelsa election, being the first conclusive election that PDP won after APC to took over at the federal level, why haven't APC and Buhari congratulate the winner.

I remember clearly that GEJ congratulated Oshiomole and Aregbe during their victory.

Humble man, he was.

what difference would it make? must everything be made public?

that's APC for you, always a bitter looser

It's not about making it public..it shows spirit of sportsmanship and maturity...congratulating someone doesn't mean you are happy with the result...

it will go a long way to send the message that election is not a do or die affair..

Cos they are sore loser! Bad belle pipo

Meanwhile we in Kogi are still patiently waiting for PMB to commiserate with us over the death of Prince Abubakar Audu a few months ago. It is on record that there were not best of friends until his death.

Just wait

That is the big difference between PDP and APC

PDP is the worst name we might call them, agreed, but under GEJ

Maturity, credibility of polls (to a large extent) and political tolerance reigned..

But now? chai........ I cant 'fit' talk

What concerns buhari and who win?
He only need to commend INEC for free n fair conduct, if he wish to acknowledge the winner good, if not so be it. Lets stop bringing ish from dust up

So if he doesn't congratulate you, what does that change? Does that nullify the result? Abeg lets hear word, Buhari this Buhari that. Allow that man to rest.

When APC won in Kogi State last year, did President Buhari call to congratulate the winner?

There were complications, two party members were fighting over the outcome of the election. Congratulating anyone will make it look as if he's taking sides. Untill APC sort the issue out, that was the ideal thing for him to do.

Same cannot be said of Bayelsa State.

Yes,cos by so doing,tension will be doused and frayed nerves will be calmed....

What issue is APC sorting out?

Withdrawing Yahya Bello or Presenting Faleke after the final decision has been made.

This issue is no more with the party but tribunal as far as the Kogi gubernatorial election is concerned. Of course, the party 's final decision was made before the final election presenting Yahya Bello.

The fact is that PMB didn't congratulate his party after the victory!
