The LP chairman described the gesture as unprecedented in Nigeria’s political history, saying Jonathan demonstrated a principled approach to politics that had rarely been witnessed in the country.“Nigeria’s democracy survived the doomsday predictions of bookmakers in 2015 because of President Jonathan’s concession of defeat in that year’s election, even before the final votes were tallied,” Usman said.
