Today, Jonathan said he can never be a party to the
disintegration of Nigeria. GEJ said his decision to concede defeat after
the presidential election which he lost was because of his conviction
that no matter his ambition, Nigeria comes first.
Jonathan said this
after he was decorated with the “Peace-Loving Global Citizen” award by
the Universal Peace Forum led by lawyer, Mike Ozehkome.
"We have our challenges, of course. We had a national conference; the
idea of the conference is to look at these weak cleavages we have in
this country. And we just finished that conference and we are thinking
about how to implement it so that Nigeria will become stronger and
united nation.
I cannot be a party to the disintegration of the
country. I’m quite pleased with what has happened. We have a country;
our country will be more united. I believe and do pray that the incoming
government should appreciate the contributions of everybody and see how
we run Nigeria as a country that belongs to everybody, for all
citizens; irrespective of political persuasion or creed; so that is what
I stand for. I took that decision (to concede to Buhari) because I told
those around me that no matter the ambition, the nation comes first" he
