Incoming Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari has commended outgoing President, Goodluck Jonathan for conceding defeat and extending a hand of friendship to him immediately the election results were announced. Buhari who revealed this while receiving handover notes from Jonathan as Aso-Villa yesterday at the Presidential Villa.
Buhari said: “Until I read and digest this notes from the President, I don’t think I will be in a position to make any strong contribution.
“But what I will say is since the telephone call you made, you have changed the course of Nigeria’s political history. For that you have earned yourself a place in our history, for stabilising this system of multi party democracy and you have earned the respect of not only Nigerians but world leaders.
“All the leaders that spoke to me and congratulated us for arriving at the point we arrived, mentioned this and I could understand, a lot of relief in their voices that Nigeria has made it after all and this is largely owed to a situation.
“If you had wanted to make things difficult, you could have made things difficult and that would have been at the expense of lives of poor Nigerians, but you chose the part of honour and may God help all of us. Thank you very much your Excellency.”
