You will rise again in politics, Buhari tells Jonathan

Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari, has told the immediate past President of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, that his best years are not behind him, but that he has a great future ahead of him.

Buhari, who made the declaration Tuesday in Abuja, during the 61st birthday celebration and  unveiling of Jonathan’s book titled ‘My Transition Hours’ held today at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, said that Jonathan has a great political future ahead of him 

Represented on the occasion by Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, Buhari, who was the Special Guest of Honour at the event, said that Jonathan will rise again politically and revealed that Jonathan saved the lives of millions of Nigerians just by a single phone call conceding defeat to him in 2015, even when results of the elections were still being collated.

He said: “This book by my predecessor will serve as a document of reference to lawyers, historians, presidents and every Nigerian. Nigerians and historians now have a firsthand account of what really transpired in 2015 and history will judge you as a patriotic Nigeria.

“Less than 88 days today, Nigerians will elect new leaders in another election and I call on all Nigerians not to see elections as a declaration of war, but to cement our brotherliness. There is only the Next Level to consider by Nigerians, but we remain grateful to former president Goodluck Jonathan.

“Rest assured that you are a leader of the past, now and the future. You will rise again in politics. Your best days are still ahead of you.”
