President Goodluck explains why he conceded defeat to Buhari

During a meeting with the new ambassadors of France, Senegal and Ethiopia today, Jonathan, who will be handling over the president title 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”.

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.
