Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State has applauded President Goodluck Jonathan for his magnanimity by conceding defeat to General Muhammadu Buhari in the March 28 presidential election.
The governor commended Jonathan on Sunday while briefing newsmen in Kano on the outcome of the last presidential and National Assembly elections in the country.
Kwankwaso said: “I want to commend the President’s action in conceding defeat.
“This shows that President Jonathan is a true statesman.”
The governor, who also congratulated Buhari on his victory, attributed the success of the election to the determination of Nigerians to have a change in leadership.
Kwakwanso assured Nigerians that Buhari would run a transparent government.
He said the new administration would fight corruption and provide maximum security to citizens of the country.
