President Muhammadu Buhari commended former President GoodLuck Jonathan while hosting about 18 supporters of the national working committee of the All Progressives Congress in his Abuja residence.
The President also said that, after former President Jonathan having stayed in the corridors of power for years would have used everything he acquires to destabilise the system but rejected all and conceded defeat.

"He rang me and said, your Excellency, and I said, Your Excellency sir. He said I ring to congratulate you, I will not forget the time.
"He said, I ring to congratulate you that I have conceded defeat, congratulations. He said did you hear me? I said yes sir. Thank you very much for your statesmanship."
