The audio file of the historic conversation between President
Goodluck Jonathan and President-elect Muhammadu Buhari, during which the former
conceded defeat in Saturday’s presidential election, has been made public.
With presidential election results from all but one of
Nigeria’s 36 states counted, and the candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, Muhammadu Buhari, clearly in unassailable lead, President Jonathan
had telephoned Mr. Buhari to concede defeat.
President Jonathan made the call a little past 5P.M. on
Monday after it became clear his party had lost the election.
