You think President Goodluck Jonathan is honorable for easily conceding defeat to President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari after the March 28 election, well this story will make you love him more.
During a meeting with the new ambassadors of France, Senegal and Ethiopia yesterday, Jonathan, who will be handing over to Buhari in a few weeks, stated that he was concerned about allowing his personal ambition scuttle a democratic system he helped nurtured, with the likely consequence of a “collective tragedy”.

During a meeting with the new ambassadors of France, Senegal and Ethiopia yesterday, Jonathan, who will be handing over to Buhari in a few weeks, stated that he was concerned about allowing his personal ambition scuttle a democratic system he helped nurtured, with the likely consequence of a “collective tragedy”.
Read his words below:
“Democracy has to be nurtured to grow. Strong democratic institutions are the backbone and future of our democracy. They must be protected and nurtured. As for me, as a matter of principle, it is always the nation first,
You need to have a nation before you can have an ambition. It should always be the nation first. You don’t have to scuttle national progress for personal ambition.
Since I assumed duty, I have been involved in quelling political crisis in some African countries and I know what they passed through and what some are still going through. If you scuttle a system for personal ambition, it becomes a collective tragedy,’’ President Jonathan explained.
I certainly agree with you on this, kudos to President Jonathan for not allowing unreasonable and wicked friends of his to influence him on this. Nigeria will forever be grateful to him for this.
