Last night, former President Goodluck Jonathan was presented with
an award at the sixth edition of African Ambassadors’ Interactive Forum
and Dinner, organized by the African Third Sector Resource in Abuja.
While receiving the award, Jonathan gave reasons why he conceded defeat
in the 2015 election without a fight.
“I always say that I reformed the democratic process as President in
order to consolidate democracy in Nigeria and the sub-region. I conceded
defeat without a fight because I wanted to set a standard for our
democracy, going forward. My aim then was to change the narrative and
prove that election-related litigations should no longer define
Nigeria’s democracy. People must not always go to court and obtain
judgments before elections in Nigeria are declared conclusive' he said.Credit: LIB
