Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari disclosed that before the formal announcement of his declaration as the winner of the 2015 elections, Dr Goodluck Jonathan called him on the phone to concede defeat and congratulate him.
According to him, such act by his predecessor was definitely, not Nigerian.
Buhari made the assertion at a farewell meeting with his media support group, Buhari Media Organisation (BMO), at the State House, Abuja on Thursday, May 18.
"Jonathan called me at 5:25 that evening to say congratulations. I said pardon me Mr. President? He said yes, I called to concede and congratulate you. That was equally very un-Nigerian.”
While calling on Nigerians to walk on the path of duty if they really wanted to see the country achieve new heights, the president showered praises on members of BMO for volunteering their time and energy throughout the eight years of his administration “without salary, letter of appointment or any formal rewards, describing their sacrifices as ‘very un-Nigerian.”
