According to Media Personality, Chude Jideonwo’s recent message on Instagram, President Jonathan has accepted defeat and just placed a call to Gen. Buhari to congratulate him for his victorious lead in the soon-to-be-concluded 2015 presidential elections.
According to Reuters, a spokesman for Buhari’s All Progressives Congress (APC) also confirmed that Pres. Jonathan has called Gen. Buhari to concede.
APC’s spokesman, Lai Mohammed reportedly praised Jonathan for conceding.
“There had always been this fear that he might not want to concede but he will remain a hero for this move. The tension will go down dramatically,” said .
“Anyone who tries to foment trouble on the account that they have lost the election will be doing so purely on his own.”
It’s almost a no-brainer that Nigeria will be making history in a few hours when the final announcement is made as INEC is currently on recess and will be reconvening at 8 p.m. Nigerian time to announce the result for the last state “Borno,” which more than likely will be won by the APC’s presidential candidate. With declared results for 35 of Nigeria’s 36 states, Buhari had polled 14,951,378 votes while president Goodluck Jonathan had 12,827, 522 – a lead of more than 2 Million votes.
We all can’t wait for this special moment when Nigeria’s next leader will be announced…so, stay tuned!
