Ex-IGP reveals that Police made Jonathan concede 2015 election

A former inspector-general of police, Suleiman Abba, has said the police under his watch forced former President Goodluck Jonathan to concede the 2015 election to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Jonathan had congratulated Buhari while the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was still collating results of the election earning him accolades within and outside the country.

But Abba made his own revelation in an interview with Daily Trust, where he said the police should be given credit for making that happen.

He said “Thank God that in our own case, we forced those who lost elections to accept the results. The Nigeria police forced those who lost elections to accept the outcome. I said the Nigeria Police, I didn’t say Suleiman Abba. It was the action of the police that made them to have a change of mind and accept the results. The heroes of that election should have been the police.”
