APC confirms the Party feared President Jonathan Would Not Accept Defeat After Election Result Announcement!

Goodluck-Jonathan3

APC in a recently released statement said that when they found out they had won the election, they had fears that President Goodluck Jonathan would reject the result and resort to a military intervention to stop Gen. Buhari from becoming the next president of the nation.

The party was however surprised at GEJ’s actions for not only conceding defeat but making that historic call to Gen. Buhari to congratulate him. Accordingly, APC would forever be grateful to Pres. Jonathan for.

The Director, Media and Publicity Directorate of the APC Presidential Campaign Organization, Mallam Garba Shehu, spoke to Vanguard about this shocker they got from GEJ. Read below:

“I can say that the President acted with grace. He surprised us because we never expected that they would accept defeat. In fact, the sense everyone had was that they probably had plan A, B, C or D. And in any case, with the kind of thing that Mr. Orubebe did at the collation center, you knew that even when the President had grace, given the chance with the community of people around him, they could have threatened this democracy.

“Look, I have been involved in presidential campaigns about three or four times in the past, the difference is that this is the most fearful campaign that I have ever experienced. This is the most life threatening campaign because we were dealing with opponents we thought would stop at nothing because they were throwing everything into it.

“So, we were not taking anything for granted. It affected our lives. Would you see me in a night club? You couldn’t risk it because you didn’t even know who was trailing you. And it came as a huge relief.

“Again, we were getting security reports from our own sources. Until the President said ‘I concede’ and congratulated Buhari, we felt every minute that something wrong would happen. There was a clear and discernible threat to democracy as a system of government.

“Look, everyone felt concerned because, what if, God forbid, he declared a coup? These scenarios had been laid before Nigerians. Mr. Okupe, the Special Adviser to the President, was he not on Youtube, recorded on video, saying that Buhari will never become President? What do you take that for? It means that Buhari would win and they will take it away from him.

“This careless talk, arrogant display of power, it had come from the Villa. Many sources with linkages to power: Asari-Dokubo, Chief E.K. Clark and all of them, were they not sounding words to the President? They had said it that they would take away their part of the country from Nigeria if Buhari won.

“But for the President to have come and say ‘I accept defeat as the leader of the country’; that had an effect of really calming things down. And that’s why, whether they like it or not, President Jonathan has written his name in gold in so far as this is concerned.” Shehu said.

He then provided assurance that Buhari would not be vindictive on Jonathan’s allies, saying there is more work to do to meet the aspirations of Nigerians than pursuing mundane things.
