Only Goodluck Jonathan has congratulated an election winner since independence – Shehu Sani

Former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani, said that since independence in 1960, the only presidential candidate who congratulated the winner was Goodluck Jonathan.

Newspot recalls that immediately after the presidential election result in Ghana on Saturday, the defeated Ghanaian vice president, Mahamudu Bawumia, conceded defeat to opposition leader John Mahama, congratulating him as Ghana’s president-elect on Sunday.

Unlike what is obtainable in Nigeria’s electoral results, Senator Shehu Sani wrote on his verified Facebook page:

“Since our independence in 1960, the only presidential candidate who congratulated the winner was Goodluck Jonathan (I stand to be corrected). We no de congratulate each other after election na fight continue until another election. If you decide wait for phone call Congratulation, your battery go die.”
