‘Nobody Forced Me To Concede Defeat In 2015 Election’- Ex President Goodluck Jonathan Reveals

Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has said that nobody, whether within the country or outside the country, persuaded nor forced him to concede defeat in the 2015 elections that got President Muhammadu Buhari to power. The former President said, instead, his decision to concede was borne out of his personal principles and
convictions that his ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. Dr. Jonathan gave the statement in a speech, Saturday,
at Bingham University, Nasarawa state, where he was conferred with honourary doctorate degree alongside former military Head of state, Yakubu Gowon.
Jonathan also said that his reason for conveying the 2014 National Conference was to come up with a polity that will bring unity in the country as well ensure a
country devoid of tension and crisis.
‘’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’’ he added.
