After nine years of losing the 2015 election to former President Muhammadu Buhari, former President Goodluck Jonathan, on Friday, recounted what he went through after the process, saying it was a tough moment in his political life.
The ex-president admitted that he was emotional when he learned about the result, adding that it felt as if the whole world was against him.
He made the confession in Abuja at the 1st Raymond Dokpesi Annual Diamond Lecture, organised by the management of Daar Communications in collaboration with the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations.
Jonathan, who ran on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, was defeated in the 2015 election by the All Progressives Congress candidate, Buhari.
Buhari then polled 15,424,921 votes, relegating the ex-president, who garnered only 12,853,162 votes, to second place. The election marked the first time an incumbent president had lost re-election in Nigeria.
