President Jonathan had a closed door meeting with members of the
European Union Observers group at the presidential villa earlier today.
The group, led by Mr Santiago Fassi, praised President Jonathan for
conceding defeat after loosing in the 2015 presidential election. The group said
Pres. Jonathan is a true symbol of democracy and is worthy of
emulation not just by other African leaders but all leaders in the
world.

good one.
Praised 4 doing wat he is suppose to do?? Smh some Nigerians sha! Next plz
GMB has won, we have heard. Change has come,
we agree. The Nigerian Lee Kwan Yew has
arrived. We welcome him. However, we expect
to see this change PRONTO.
Constant light in four years. WAEC pass rate
should be 90%. In four years. There should be
no more potholes on our roads. In four years.
We shouldn't hear of crime. In four years. There
must be no corruption in ANY sector of our
public/private lives. The Naira should gain
grounds against foreign currency(that one no
favour me but I go still talk am). In four years.
Fuel price should be N16. In four years. All of
these and many more. In four years.
To all those who rained abuses on GEJ and
Patience in the name of campaign, all I ask is, be
as critical of the incoming government as u were
of GEJ's. We will not hear the excuse that
Nigeria's problems did not start with Buhari ooo.
We will not hear that change takes time o. Let
us judge him by the same yardsticks.
At the same time, we have not forgotten all the
promises o. Stipends to the poorest families.
Payment of 'allawee' to unemployed graduates.
Feeding Nigerian students daily. When he made
these promises, he knew about the country's
reserves. He knew that the crude prices were
falling. He said he would do it, and Nigerians
believed him.
We should watch carefully. How will he
constitute his cabinet? What will his body
language be towards bigwigs in his party that
have been accused of corruption? How exactly
does he intend to "fight corruption?"
Four years is a long time. A lot can be done in
four years, For the sake of our dear country, I
sincerely hope that change has come.
Dats my president a hero, a legend nd d pple's man. A true Democrat with a good Southern blood. We love nd cherish u our president nd broda
Jonathan, u caused all these for yourselve. U were too weak.
Its normal joor. Kudos anyway
Proud of Jona bobo. Linddaobserve

Good for him.
Your blood is too hot. Abeg calm down.
Aboki shut up u talk too much
Hateful comment!
Mr Aboki, I think your last phrase should read "some oyibo shaa". The caption says EU observer! European Union! Well how can u reason at this point, your mind and heart is naturally wired to hate, filled with envy and bedeviled with the born to rule mentality! So your comment is not surprising!
Sometimes, I wonder weda ur brain works at all... U are d biggest idiot I have ever seen on LIB
Dude, did Buhari congratulate for 2011 up till now?. Don't be sentimental. We all applaud the president because his actions didn't cause violence like some people did in 2011, you hear
Nice 1......
Aboki shut up u talk too much
Aboki Shut up dummy!!! U dont always have to show us how daft u are
No president would jst wake up and say yes I failed congrats to the winner
They are a lot of things most of u dnt jst know yet, dnt let ur lack of wisdom kill u
If buari had failed this election, I bet u we wont be discussing this topic today bcos if had acted the way GEJ acted yestaday, I dnt think we will be worrying about boko haram
U fools saying he shouldn't be praised for accepting defeat needs Jesus, I believe some of u don't even like the post election peace we are having right now, if the president didn't accept defeat even before the buhari was announced the winner, do u know how many lives would have been lost this morning??? Go to Kenya and ask what happens in 2007 when the incumbent didn't want to accept defeat,. Some of u will just be doing follow follow, na wetin una see for twitter una go dey follow
Aboki shut up u talk too much
You ar on ur own, is he a magician
A very bold step made by mr president, he is a good man but had loads of negative advisers. Wish him well
Lol you so funny, I can hear the excuses spring up already, the will be like give it time we met a mess. Thiefnibu and crazy ameachi will turn to media officers, fashi bby nyash go open. In the voice of baba i dey laugh ooo
Kikikiki aya. I heard this is d latest way to console yourselves after d unexpected defeat, smh abandoned property!

Will be laughing when Nigerians will be the same ones trying to kick buari out. Lol lol hahaha. Buari ' s dream was to become president and he has gotten his wish. He probably won't even run for a next term lol. Tinubu or Amaechi will be the next ones running soon. Lol!!!!! Haha African leaders and government officials will always be corrupt. The masses will always keep living in abject poverty will the rulers no matter who it is will keep enrich in themselves. I don't care who is the leader of what country in Africa. None of them have their countries at heart.
great leader ! , i respect GEJ for conceding defeat
Best comment on LIB so far. no excuses should be part of the change.
@DavidoDriver did u just say "who could not make "it" past waec"?? lmfaoo who needs waec now??? English na wa!
You said d right words...I wish there was a way he can see your comment
U are a very big fool @aboki,no president has ever received as much insults as dis man,I'm proud of him n happy dat he's leaving aso rock with his family intact(no death) unlike our past presidos since 1999
Hail jonathan he is a true leader
Listen to your stupid self, the fact that he accepted defeat is why there is peace. Stupid thing ,think before you comment on here.
On the night that GEJ gallantly conceded defeat to Buhari, sleep eluded my eyes. I was reflecting on why such a fortune or misfortune should befall such an icon of democratic values and humility. But reading your generous tributes I m sure history shall be immensely generous to him as well. And I hope that a man with such attributes would not be rare in our political space. I spent personal funds mobilizing, organizing, canvassing and debating for President Jonathan not for any personal benefit but cos none possesses his sense of humility. Drawing analogy from the scriptures, though GEJ is an active player in this current political dispensation he is NOT of this dispensation. He is much more advanced. Certainly he lost not because there is a better candidate (he secured more vote spread than Buhari). Nor did he loose on account of incompetence ( he did more for the region that voted against him than any President from that region, Boko Haram is international terrorism). I also believe he did not loose to his adversaries ( Okorocha lost in Imo, Oshio lost in Edo, Amaechi lost in Rivers, Tinubu/Fashola almost lost in Lagos). But he lost to the irreconcilable internal contradictions bw him and his ruling PDP. He lost to the fifth columnists in his party due to his unique type of politics. He sacrificed his ambition on account of that. Otherwise how do you begin to rationalize a situation where the VP/PDP Gov lost in their state, a Party chair/PDP Gov lost in Bauchi, a Senate President/PDP Gov lost in Benue, DG GEJ Campaign/PDP Gov lost in Kogi. Not to mention traitors like Sule Lamido and Babangida Aliyu. Simply put surrounded by wolves of different colors, shapes forms and sizes GEJ decided to "step aside" for the less voracious of them all being Buhari. He did that for our sake and sake of generations to come. May your days be long my C-in-C. May God be with the new President-elect and May God continue to bless us all. Like someone said I am very proud to have supported GEJ and will do it over and over and over again given the same circumstances.
Lmfaooo aya kpele o,see group of. Dem dem having self pity 4 each other ,wish he could see this comments indeed..smh....buhahahahah
Lmfaooo aya kpele o,see group of. Dem dem having self pity 4 each other ,wish he could see this comments indeed..smh....buhahahahah
@Anonymous, May God bless you for that long, brillant and thoughtful comment. You are a true democrat!
Congratulated over breaking d hearts of his supporters mostly me. No thanks GEJ.
Which one is a good southern blood again? I hate seein stuffs like dis..deal wif it tribalistic he goat, buhari won.....
Same here Royal Priesthood
Royal, i agree with u.. if the President had wanted to rig, he would have done so, but he chose the let the opposition rig and win. His legacy in the agriculture and other sectors will never be forgotten, cheer up brother, shey now they have their change, let's wait and see how effective it is.. at least, u and i and some very good Nigerians fought for a good cause, but the enemies had too many children in the north vote for them even if they were ineligible. They have given up Nigeria's transformation for change, change could negative or positive, let's wait and see how it turns out..
Let God take control, no negativity please. It's too early
I'm very sure this Election teach GEJITE some lesson. You might have billions of Naira for campaign, contradicting Lawyers, Hating comment, rogue Governors, Celebrities but have a strong will and Never give up Spirit...
please this guy did nothing extraordinary every year presidents loose and walk out peacefully what is he being congratulated for. This is how you all baptize bad behaviour. There was very bad campaign and they failed to rig because all these EU observers were watching no news here. Last year SA, Malawi. Botswana and Zambia had elections there were no deaths before and after elections. In Nigerian people died during elections and before. Raise your standards of expectations please. Its his time to go don't praise nothing.
Like I said it's now time for me to say Sai Jonathan. God bless you forever sir for this act of love for your country. ****cageyberry ****
Don't worry Mr Jonathan, we will compensate u with nobel peace prize and u will be Next UN president so u can tour round the world while Nigeria Develop. Peace b onto u Bro
@anon 11:40.. What a comment? Brilliant! Excellent! God bless U!!!!!
Enough already. It's racist they're patronizing him for doing what's very standard in their world. They're mocking him for being like them.
We done hear joor!!!
For Hot s*xy leaked videos and photos, and Nigerian news and entertainment, visit www.groovyplaza.com
yea let's call him a national hero for doing what any logical human being would do. our standard in this country is so fukn low. fukn backward ass piece of shit baboons
GEJ is a man of peace. lets give it to him cos if it were buhari bombs will be falling here and there. aboki dnt let hate consume you.
@Peero did you notice how many people they had to sacrifice on their birthdays and other days to make that possible? Leave mata abeg.
Now boko haram is quiet because their oga will have to justify the money he spent sponsoring them. Azazi said the truth, Henry Okah said the truth, the Australian journalist said the truth. Even if jonathan strikes a secret deal with Buhari, I hope they don't keep quiet when they investigate and find him guilty.
I used to believe our votes don't count in this country and that is why I don't vote so If jonathan wanted to rig that election, he would have nd dere is nothing we can do about it cos it has been happening, this man just gave Nigerians a voice and so this is highly appreciated. Thank you GEJ
Gej all d way👍... Still my man anytime anyday
Please how is this man a hero abeg, wasn't he simply doing what he was really supposed to in a democratic setting?
I'm convinced dat our standard n expectations of our ourselves are so ridiculously low in this country that we are prepared to hero worship someone for simply doing what they should have done in the first place: case in point is d issue of d airport cleaner who found money that didn't belong to her and decided to return it.
Which makes me surprised at Linda cos she vehemently insisted den that d lady was no heroine, that she simply did was what she should have done and as such the hero worship was unecessay.
I agree and since I also see it as exactly the same scenerio, I want to conclude that most of us Nigerians are hypocritical in nature. Or Are people prepared to simply forget the missing 20billion? The subsidy scam? The missing Chibok girls? The fact that the treasury is empty and once again we are up to our throat in debt?, allegations of massive corruption and illegal use of police and army by mama Peace n people within GEJ's cabinet? The fact that trillions of Naira were spent to give us locomotive trains that have been extinct in most part of the world, when in a sane society installing brand new high speed trains cost less than half of d price? the fact that for the past 4 years Tompolo and Asari Dokubo have literally taken over d duty of d navy n in d process have become billionaires at d expense of Nigeria? Or is it the fact that Deziani his alleged mistress has been indicted so many times for corruption but was still kept in office against all voice of reasoning? (I can go on and on)
For all of you who thinks dat GEJ conceeded cos he loves Nigeria and he wants peace, I am sorry for ur naïveté. Have you guys seen what happened to Charles Taylor? what about Simone Gbagbo?. Do u think GEJ will rather hold on to power for a few more years and den have to face the international court n possibly life in prison or gently go home n enjoy his 6 year loot? And suddenly he's everyone's hero and deserves a Noble peace price for simply saving himself and leaving Nigeria in the worst state ever for the next president?
Well I guess GEJ is really the winner in all this...after all this is clearly his greatest achievement cos not only did he manage to save himself, he managed to make everyone forget in an instant why he was voted out in d first place.
#Rantover!... If u like Linda don't allow my comment, na u sabi, I'm just tired of hearing about GEJ being a hero like seriously!
I thin you are missing the point, Buhari was not voted into power simply because people knew what he wanted to do or how he was going to do it...he was voted in simply because people are tired of GEJ, his lousy wife and corrupt concubines...cos together they were bleeding Nigeria dry!
Am waiting patiently for d change o... Most importantly is to feed those primary school pupils with lunch everyday as promised Atleast I heard that one loud and clear.... I have cleaned my spectacles to observe tinz...
So Peero, a president receiving insult from people and not doing anything is now an achievement? What should he have done please? And I guess leaving with all his family intact is supposed to also be an achievement?...hmmm I weep for the Nigerian youth, that's all I can say!
Do u people even know what it means to be a hero self...nawa! Hero loun loun!! Biko let's not abuse the word hero please...how can u use the same term used to describe the likes of Mandela on Jona for simply accepting defeat?... Biko let's softly with the hero malaky pls thank u!!!
Fool what's normal? Did your so called change president do it that last time he lost? Rather there's been bloodshed ever since
He tried tho
Well spoken, God bless you
My friend if jona did jst one of those we would ve voted him in again if he even left Nigeria as he meet it... but as u and ur followers should note.... I ve not seen light for about two month compared to pre jonathans era of almost constant power supply, dollar is 210 now, oil reserves have diminished from $70 bn to international debt, fuel has increased by 50 percent, and don't even let's get started on the public humiliation we went through with #bringbackourgirls... imagine obj is suddenly a president worthy of emulation with all these facts, buhari dosent even hv to do much to win our affection. And curbing his wife is a good start. Pls stop being a sore loser and jst accept defeat in good faith #uberrimae fidei
Seriously anonymous may God bless you real good for this comment. You could not have said it any better. People don't know this. How can you explain the emotions of so many people because he lost? In the past when an aspirants loses its usually very painful to his supporters but in this case I read people's comments on social media and people are writing that they have been crying since he lost, people are so moved to tears when accolades and tributes are being paid to him. Did he do all that was expected of him, no, was his administration corruption free no, but that goes to show that there is just something about this man that Nigerians could not wait to unravel so we could actually see the best of him. He did stoop to conquer! May God bless him amen!
We also congratulate you Oga Jona no be only the oyinbo people waka come for this mata. Linda take note!
Praised because he did what many other leaders would find hard and humiliating to do....he should be nominated for a Nobel Peace Price, honestly...He is a complete gentleman.

Well said @ anonymous I hail GEJ and may God give the people general the grace to lead us to the promise land.Amen God bless Nigeria.
@aboki, am not suprised that your hrt is naturally wired to hate and dislike, yes GEJ did the right thing and should be praised for doing it, especially when you know that you can't muster enough courage to do the same thing, GMB has lost a couple of times and he never allowed this nation to know peace, even when he knew that was the right thing to do. GEJ IS AN HONOURABLE MAN, he is a TRUE DEMOCRAT, he may have his flaws but he's my HERO! He let go his own intrest for nigeria to move forward, remember he is still the president for now, so assuming he refuses to accept the election results, his kinsmen we support him and take up arms, and u knw definitely thins nation will be plunged into war, and yet u sit den there and refuse to appreciate him, you're jst the Muslim that you are, a set of people who never sees the good in others except their own, I hope you've seen how we Christians are better off than you? My bible says ''follow peace with all men'' Heb. 12:14.
GEJ is a Great Leader! Always my HERO!
God bless you Anon 11:40pm
Well said, I can feel ur pain. But let mi b quick to tell u that in as much as ur candidate lost, he is to blame.Do u know how many years he wasted in his 4 years to appease d north to accept him 3 wasted years, when he ought to have closed them out and faced d southwest, South East and south south.He gave d north so much freedom in his administration this freedom worked against him.Sanusi wus used to distabilise Jonathans govt and he achieved dat,Jonathan did not provide cover for his own people in govt he exposed them to d north.Where is late Gen. Azazi who openly said Boko haram wus a machination of d PDP what happened after d comment, d north put pressure on Jonathan he removed him,What happened to Festus Odumegwu who came and told d whole Nigeria d north especially Kano had being enjoying over bloated population figures over d years dat r not true,Kwankwaso and Sanusi called for his head Jonathan obliged them.What happened to Gen Ihejirika when got Boko Haram surrounded had d GSM companies cut of networks in d town and wus on d verge of expunging them? D north started to shout genocide and threaten to take him to ICC for carnage and ethnic violence, Jonathan quickly removed him.Stella Oduah started remodelling d airports with funds gotten from BASA agreements of years back, a fund dat an hausa man in person of Isa Yuguda told d internationals airlines not to pay since we didn't ve a national carrier, Stella came got dis fund and geared it towards remodelling of d airports and building more d 1st of its kind, d north came out and said she did not follow due process then began her ordeal what happened Jonathan removed her.Do u know how many southerners Jonathan sacrificed on d alter of d North just to win their heart? Here is d resultant effect,d composition of his cabinet excluded mainly d yoruba's u had a few yoruba's who lacked administrative capacity to drive his agenda in d southwest.Idiots like Obanikoro became a constant feature in his government,what good can dat idiot bring to d southwest and u tell mi southwest shouldn't align with d north.Its obvious he lost his chance in d southwest, if only he had being fair to all d regions he might ve come back.U talk about abuse, he brought it upon himself to b abused and when it wus time they too started to abuse some1 old enough to b their Father.Who is brain dead now,who is likely to die amongst all of them certainly them out of shock and GMB,they abused a 72 year old man with ease and calm and u expect God to b happy with u, who is likely to b stoned out of Aso rock now, their actions have stoned them out, their words ve stoned them out, so my man no need to urge us to b critical of d new government. Yardua and Jonathan was a democratic error that has caused 8 years of set back.D former wus medically unfit to rule and latter wus docile to,to rule. They both lacked d capacity to rule and dats why dis change came.In all of dis I blame OBJ for giving us two mistakes in Yardua and Jonathan.Dont b critical of d new govt rather support d new govt.In d 60's Awo refused to align with d north, it wus d south east/ south that came together to form a govt. But today it's d Yoruba's and d North. It shows one thing d North in any situation will always prove their importance in d politics of Nigeria.If Jonathan had done well mayb it would ve being d entire South bringing him back to office.
Jonathan has no choice but to accept defeat as there are no powerful friends (both Locally and Internationally) to back him if he decides to take the infamous route of forcefully remaining in power.
I repeat he has no fucking choice cos there are no powerful friends to back him up.

I wonder if some folks commenting on here even watch cnn ,aljazeera, arise, bbc and co. If you do , you'll understand the importance of a leader conceding defeat. I'm happy GMB will be the next president in a month . Most leaders around the world don't step down easily , especially from the underdeveloped countries . Do your research before you wonder why he's been praised.
Anon 10 40 best comment here, jeeez,i will like to know u,u are so intelligent and great
This comment just brought tears to my eyes, GEJ is the best,i give Buhari supporters a year and I will come back to make my comment
Aboki or what ever you call yourself jona just accept defeat for peace sake if not you can't be written on lib or even linda may be looking for a safe place to stay..everything is arrangement if you watch closely fayose never speak again and jona didn't say anything about this election he just accept defeat which ppolitician has ever done that ...my guy its just foe peace so what America predict so it we not happen
OMG... luk @ hw tears are rolling down ma cheek on reading dis post.. GEJ is jst de MAN
GEJ we luv u till 2moro....AMB u're wlcm
@peero mind ur words and who killed d ones that are dead,have u ever lost a family member? Who did u blame for their death,go sit down and accept defeat just like Jona and stop blabbing on social media
May God give him d wisdom and ability to tackle all that u have mentioned in a very short time. That's our prayer for nigeria.
Yes ... The fact that he accepted defeat is the reason there is peace
Same here
You have sincerely said it all. May God bless u for breaking it down the way it was. God's willing we shall all converge here after 4yrs to analyse the achievements of this government. God bless GEJ
Gej is a hero... Some of u may not accept it now ... One day you will reflect back at what he did today and realise what a great man he is ...
Your thoughts are well written. Thank you! May God bless the brave one, President Goodluck Jonathan
Anon 11,40 pm. God bless you,May you live long and in good health.... IT IS WELL WITH NIGERIA
I know the result of the presidential election is no more news but think about this Amazing thing. The 2 major contenders had the following;
APC:15,424,921
PDP:12,853,162
Now if you add the 2 set of numbers together, they equal the same thing. I.e
1+5+4+2+4+9+2+1 =28
1+2+8+5+3+1+6+2 =28
The date of the election was March 28!
Is it a coincidence? I don't think so, but I believe its "God is At Work!".
Meditate on this as you go about today's activities.
He did that to save Nigeria from possible war. It takes a brave heart to do that! He's indeed a legend!
Mumu Aboki, had GEJ won, we will be counting thousand dead bodies now because everything nah violence for aboki.
Mumu Aboki, had GEJ won, we will be counting thousand dead bodies now because everything nah violence for aboki.

Aboki! U and I know that ur broda Buhari wud never do what Jonathan did so shut ur trap up. For the record, he didn't concede to defeat because he was weak, he conceded to defeat because he is brave! it takes an extraordinary mind to do what Jonathan did and he did that to save Nigeria from war. Shey naija na una birth right? Make una take naija chop make person hear word! Shallow minded stereotyped myopic people! Mtscheeeew! And I'm sure that all una masterminded bombings will come to an end now since una brother don enter power. "Born to Rule Negros " Mtcsheww
@ Anonymous! Hahhahahahahahha dats a good one!
maybe the naira will start getting strong again
Aboki u are a fool, u disgust me
I praise goodluck for been the most peaceful president in Africa/ Nigeria ever. Since we don't hear plane crash or hearing Car accidents like we used to have before and he took good care of this thins. Until they came with bomb. Cos they knew he is not a military man. But God knows him as peaceful man and may God keep protecting him and open his eyes to know he still needed in Nigeria again. I welcome the new president elect.... and I will show him my support and promise to be good example to my followers and my team. Congrat. Mr. Pres. Elect.
Nicely written
Aboki mind how u comment here... I have been reading ur comments for long time and I don't speak much. but I will advise u to stop making hate speech here and let us #havoneNigeria
Yeah Jonathan shud be deservedly praised
Why u na dey disturb that aboki, una forget say aboki na aboki dem no no any thing other dan ranka dei dei and they will give them N10 and they are ok na Nama brain them get nah haba free them
Buhari I don't have issue with him for now he might mean well but my main concern is the evil and corrupt minded people who he thinks that helped him to be on that seat (tinumbu and obasanjo) if only he will stand his ground and keep saying no to corruption then his reign will be Good
God will guide him well I believe
Hmmmmm!!! What a piece of deepest expression of thoughts for a man of Honour -GEJ.
