Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, former Lagos state police
commissioner, explained why in his opinion the immediate past leader of
the country did not deserve to be praised over having conceded defeat.
Speaking with The Tribune, Tsav said that in reality Goodluck Jonathan conceded defeat out of fear of being hunted by the new administration over his “his mismanagement in office”.
“He (president Jonathan) knew that if he dared to cause anything that could have triggered crisis, he knew that he was not safe. As for me, I do not see him as a hero as some people have made him to be.”
The recently appointed commissioner of the Public Complaints Commission also urged the incumbent to learn from Jonathan’s mistakes and not to allow the politicians around him to tarnish his reputations.
Tsav expressed confidence that most of the modern politicians are “self-centered and money-seeking lots”.
“My advise to the president is that he should keep to his words, ‘I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody’. He should not allow those with shady character to mislead him and he should remember that if he fails, he would be the one to bear the brunt.”
Recall that earlier this year, before the presidential election, Tsav mocked GEJ over his claims that Nigerians would miss him only when he left. He characterized the statement as “mere hallucination and wishful thinking”.
After the polls, which brought victory to Buhari, Jonathan conceded defeat before the final results were announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Key figures in the Nigerian and global politics commended the outgoing president for the move noting that he truly ensured democratic elections in the country.
