Former President Goodluck
Jonathan was honoured last night with an award at the sixth edition of African
Ambassadors’ Interactive Forum and Dinner, organized by the African Third
Sector Resource in Abuja.
While receiving the award,
Jonathan gave reasons why he conceded defeat in the 2015 election without a
fight.
“I always say that I
reformed the democratic process as President in order to consolidate democracy
in Nigeria and the sub-region. I conceded defeat without a fight because I
wanted to set a standard for our democracy, going forward. My aim then was to
change the narrative and prove that election-related litigations should no
longer define Nigeria’s democracy. People must not always go to court and
obtain judgments before elections in Nigeria are declared conclusive’ he said.
