GEJ Hailed As A Hero For Conceding Election Defeat As He Meets With European Union Observers

The European Union observer group to the 2015 general elections in
Nigeria has described President Goodluck Jonathan’s conduct as a
shining example that other world leaders should emulate.
Leader of the delegation, Mr Santiago Fisas, gave the commendation
after holding a closed door meeting with the outgoing President in his
office.

The five man delegation was at the Presidential Villa to congratulate
Dr.Jonathan for allowing a peaceful electoral process and conceding
defeat.

The group, which came to present the preliminary report on the
outcome of the elections, said that the fact that President Jonathan
conceded defeat saved Nigeria from degenerating into chaos as
predicted by many pessimists.

The meeting with the president lasted for about 30 minutes before the
Chief spoke to State House correspondents congratulating him for
exemplary display of statesmanship for the entire world to see.

The leader of the observer group said that many political watchers
never expected that Nigeria was going to come out without bruises
following the elections.

He also gave kudos to the Nigerian people. The EU observer group
says they will be back in Nigeria in July for the full presentation of
the report on the elections.
