The former Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, has lauded Jonathan for conceding the 2015 presidential election, which he said “saved Nigeria’s democracy, as he never wanted anybody to die.”
Gowon, who saluted Jonathan on his 61st birthday and the launch of his memoir, told the former president, “You never wanted anybody to die.”
“I was in the African Union congress in 2015, and there was fear and serious concerns about Nigeria’s elections. But at the end of the day, the news was that Jonathan had conceded.”

“There was jubilation everywhere. Jonathan did something: he saved Nigeria’s democracy because he never wanted anybody to die. You saved Nigeria’s democracy and Nigerians,” Gowon said.
