  1. As far as am concerned, GEJ is a true stateman
    for conceding to the result of the just Presidential election he earned my respect. One thing Nigerians should understand was that if he has chosen not to accept the result of the Election it could have been another story,for this singular act he is an Hero.

  2. The power tasty vampires should learn a lesson from GEJ’s disposition to this election. Even though he lost, he is the greates winner of the election. hope those who see themselves as rulers will accept defeat when the time comes, because it won’t be too long.

  3. WHEN GMB LOST IN 2011 HIS FOLLOWERS KILLED SEVERAL INNOCENT NIGERIANS AND DESTROYED PROPERTIES WORTH BILLIONS. HE REFUSED TO CONDEMNED THE ACT BUT HERE IS A SITTING PRESIDENT CONCEDING DEFEAT JUST LIKE THAT TO SAFE THE LIVES OF HIS COUNTRY MEN. KUDOS GEJ.

    1. @Omo ode de.The whole could watch, the fact remains that in defeat GEJ has become victorious because he loves his country.he did not want trouble encouraged and showed he’s a gentle and courageous man. After all the whole world watched June 12 Presidential elections which Abiola won, the fairest elections ever witnessed in the history of Nigeria. What became of it through the hands of Gen Babangida.? In 2011 Presidential elections in which Gen Buhari was defeated. Did he congratulate GEJ? if HE HAD SAME COURAGE and congratulated him, the riots by his supports which he condoned and in which many innocents citizens were killed could have been averted. GEJ is a Hero despite his defeat.

  4. some time is good to believe our leader we never believe him until it happen.
    for me he remained the best leader he said it before and I believe him
    congratulation.GO HOME AND REST
