Since 1960, The Only Presidential Candidate Who Congratulated The Winner Was Jonathan – Shehu Sani

One of the chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and former Kaduna lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central at the National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani has stated that former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is the only presidential candidate who has congratulated the winner since Nigeria gained independence in 1960.

This statement was contained in a post that he shared on his official X handle on Monday.

The former Kaduna lawmaker, however, stated that he stands to be corrected. He said people don’t congratulate one another after election. He said after election, the fight continues till another election.

Here is what Senator Shehu Sani wrote on his official 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 de wait for phone call congratulation, your battery go die”.
