Former Minister of Defence, Theophilus Danjuma, has urged all African and World leaders to follow the example of President Goodluck Jonathan and his dignified action after his loss in the presidential election.
Danjuma made the call while briefing newsmen shortly after receiving President Jonathan, who paid him a private visit in Abuja on Wednesday.

What do you expect the incoming government of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to handle first?

• C) Corruption (39%, 6,725 Votes)
• B) Power (28%, 4,886 Votes)
• A) Security (21%, 3,579 Votes)
• D) Unemployment (11%, 1,806 Votes)
• E) Undecided (1%, 176 Votes)

Total Voters: 17,172

He said the President had set a precedent in Africa by conceding defeat and congratulating opposition candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, prior to the final tally of the presidential pools being announced.
According to him, the position taken by the President is new in Nigeria.
“The outcome of the election and the manner in which President Jonathan conceded victory to Buhari is totally un-African. It is very new in the history of our country.
“If Ojukwu did the same after the fall of Enugu when his Government fled into exile, if he had conceded victory to the Federal troops, it would have saved the nation one full year of bloodshed.
“So, President Jonathan has set a record and it is something to be emulated by the rest of Africa and indeed, the whole world,’’ Danjuma said.
Reports gathered reveal that in the closed-door parley between both stalwarts, Danjuma commended Jonathan on the way he administered the country and the numerous achievements recorded by his administration.
