PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari
has finally ruled-out possibility of
inviting ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan for questioning over cases
of corruptions, most especially, the
popular Armsgate scandal during
his administration, saying the ex-
President has earned respect world-
over for a singular act after 2015
elections.

Buhari who said he was shocked to
have receive Jonathan’s call even
before the presidential election
result was declared also said such
incidence in his life remain
unforgettable.

Reacting to questions when some
journalists interview the President
during the week, Buhari revealed
that he remains grateful to the
former President.

Hear him: “I think is one of the
incidences in my life that I will
never forget, I could even
remember the time, it is quarter
past five in the evening.

He call me, of course we recognize
each other voices. He said, good
evening Your Excellency and I say
ha Good evening Your Excellency
and then a temporary silence from
both sides then I heard I am calling
you to congratulate you that I have
conceded, that you have won the
election and congratulations.

“And now of course, there was
absolute silence from my own side,
because I haven’t recovered from
the shock, because the reality of the
situation is for somebody who have
been a deputy governor, a
governor, a vice president and then
a president suddenly for six years
to concede during election even
before the counting was completed
I think he shows some great
statesmanship.

“So quickly, that is why I changed
my mind I said Your Excellency, he
said do you hear what I said thank
you Your Excellency for your
statesmanship.

I think if you play back because it
was recorded that is how I quickly
came out of it.

“And certainly for that he earned
the respect not only of Nigerians,
but the world over, because in the
state of our development political,
when change of government is
done through the barrel of the gun.

Then a substantive seating
President conceding before even
the figures are been collated
