Lai Mohammed, APC spokesman calls Goodluck Jonathan a ‘hero’ for conceding ‘it will calm everything’ he says.

“President Jonathan called General Muhammadu Buhari, the winner of the elections, to congratulate him,” Lai Mohammed, spokesman for the APC, said.

“There had always been this fear that he might not want to concede, but he will remain a hero for this move. The tension will go down dramatically,

“Anyone who tries to foment trouble on the account that they have lost the election will be doing so purely on his own,” he added.

Victory for Buhari marks the first time in Nigeria’s history that an opposition party has democratically taken control of the country from the ruling party.

A while ago, President Goodluck Jonathan called his major challenger and the likely-winner of the 2015 presidential election, Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC to congratulate him.

Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka said the president spoke with Muhammadu Buhari on the phone and will address the country after rounding off his meeting with his cabinet.

President Jonathan also spoke with the National Leader of APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
