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.
It should be recalled that following Saturday’s presidential election results in Ghana, the defeated Ghanaian vice president, Mahamudu Bawumia, accepted loss to opposition leader John Mahama and congratulated him as Ghana’s president-elect on Sunday.
Unlike what is available in Nigeria’s vote 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.”
