Former President Goodluck Jonathan has provided an explanation for his decision to admit loss after President Muhammadu Buhari won the 2015 presidential race.
Jonathan claimed that he gave up because Nigeria was more important to him than himself.
In an interview with Arise Television on Monday, he made this revelation.
Jonathan pointed out that the circumstances surrounding Buhari’s transition to President-elect Bola Tinubu were distinct from those of his own period.

Jonathan claims that, in contrast to what is possible today, he transferred his ownership to a different political party.
He said: “The situation now is different from my time. Buhari is handing over to his own party, unlike my time when I handed over to another time.
“During my time, some of the most senior officers were afraid if the next government would throw all of us into jail without fair hearing.
“By this time, I had already conceded defeat, and this was because I was more interested in the country than my self.”
