President
Goodluck Jonathan has called opposition candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, to
concede defeat in Saturday’s presidential poll and congratulate the 72-year-old
former military ruler and candidate of the All Progressive Congress.

With the
national electoral commission on the verge of concluding collation of results
from Nigeria’s 36 states and Abuja, the federal capital, General Buhari of the
opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) is ahead of Jonathan by over 2
million votes. It will be impossible for Jonathan to close the gap going by
exit poll numbers.
The APC has
declared victory in the poll through its spokesman, Mr. Lai Mohammed even
though the PDP insists there were irregularities in at least four states in
northern Nigeria, where Buhari is from.
