I got this from Christian post and it reads as below:The Christian Association of Nigerian-Americans has said that outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan has acted 'heroically' by peacefully conceding the presidency to his rival, Muhammadu Buhari. CANAN said that it had prayed for a peaceful outcome, and expressed hope that Buhari will be able to drive out terror group Boko Haram from Nigeria.
"I think President Goodluck Jonathan has etched his name in gold by the single action he took to concede defeat and congratulate the winner of the election. It is unprecedented in Nigeria's history, at the national level, to have a president concede defeat so quickly, even before the final results are released," pastor Laolu Akande, the executive director of CANAN, told The Christian Post in a phone interview on Wednesday.
He added that although Jonathan has left a number of questions regarding corruption and his administration's ability to provide security for the Nigerian people, the outgoing president has "reinvented himself" with his response to losing the election, which was "no less than heroic."
*What President Jonathan did was truly noble, putting the people first before his ambitions. I am so sure this act will never be forgotten because he has set an example for the future*
