By SufuyanOjeifo<\/p>\n

In 2015, noroom was created to interrogate the conduct of the presidential
\nelection inwhich an incumbent president kissed the dust. Both the process
\nand outcomeescaped obligatory queries and essential indictments. Had the
\nprocess andoutcome been subjected to painstaking reviews, especially at
\nthe court,perhaps, the political and governance arrangements would have
\nbeen differentfrom what they are today.<\/p>\n

But through hishistoric phone call to the opposition candidate, Muhammadu
\nBuhari of the AllProgressives Congress (APC), to concede defeat even
\nbefore the announcement ofthe presidential poll results by the Independent
\nNational Electoral Commission(INEC), former President Goodluck Jonathan
\nand candidate of the PeoplesDemocratic Party (PDP) had responsively and
\nresponsibly narrowed the options byfoisting a fait accompli on his party
\nleaders and members.<\/p>\n

By congratulatingBuhari on his victory at the poll, what Jonathan did was
\nto appropriate thepowers to unilaterally reach a crucial political
\ndecision of foreclosing theventilation of his angst through an election
\npetition.\u00a0The circumstantialpressures under which Jonathan operated as
\npresident might have informed hissagacious decision to pull the
\nunprecedented political surprise.<\/p>\n

Having suffereda historic betrayal that had culminated in his defeat in
\nspite of hisincumbency power, his action had since turned out to
\nbeennobling.\u00a0\u00a0And, to envisage that the humiliation had become
\nwrit-largein the demystification of the most powerful presidency on the
\nAfrican continentwas enough to encourage a redemptive action.<\/p>\n

Certainly,Jonathan\u2019s gratuitous gesture was not only self-redeeming, but
\nalsoimage-boosting for Nigeria. It provided a new pedestal on which our
\nnation andpolitical leadership began to enjoy global consideration and
\nrave reviews.Nigeria, understandably, became a positive reference point in
\nthe chancy matterof presidential power transfers on the continent.<\/p>\n

In projectinghis individuality as one who was not power-drunk, it is now
\nvery clear that theaction had nothing to do with the much-needed cultural
\nrebirth or attitudinalchange at the centre of politicking. Rather, it was
\na case of a rarepersonality defining his eon in the quirky context of the
\nnation\u2019scloak-and-dagger politics.<\/p>\n

Jonathan sawthe moment and seized it.\u00a0Today, while he relishes the
\nlocalplaudits and global adulation, there is a systemic contradiction and
\nrupture ofa neo-political culture that is largely rooted in the providence
\nof one man butwhich is fleetingly romanticized and referenced by
\npretenders through mereverbal exhortations.<\/p>\n

Honestly, howmany political leaders can replicate Jonathan\u2019s selflessness?
\nJust who can takeup the gauntlet to seamlessly abdicate power? With all
\nthe influence,connections and recognition that power brings, it is always
\ndifficult to stepdown from it. Jonathan hurriedly did and saved himself
\nand Nigerians the painsand odium of entanglement at a crossroads.<\/p>\n

I can thereforeunderstand the reason there have been calls from some
\nquarters, urging thecandidate of the opposition PDP, in the February 23
\npresidential election,Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to congratulate the winner
\nand incumbent PresidentBuhari. But the two scenarios are evidently
\ndissimilar. In the same vein, thecharacters and their vital motivations
\nare different from the Jonathan exemplar.<\/p>\n

Significantly,there was absence of absolute good faith in the processes
\nthat presaged the 2019election, which mischief the National Peace
\nCommittee headed by GeneralAbdulsalami Abubakar had tried to cure with the
\ninstrumentality of itsMemorandum of Understanding (MoU) that underpinned
\nthe celebrated peace accordand commitment by the candidates to accept the
\noutcome of the poll as ithappened in 2015.<\/p>\n

On differentoccasions, when the question was posed, while Buhari did not
\nindicate that hewould accept defeat, deflecting the question and insisting
\nthat he enjoyedcountrywide support, Atiku had said that he would accept
\nthe outcome with acaveat or proviso that the process must be free and
\nfair.<\/p>\n

The electionhad been held. Buhari is the president-elect. Questions have
\nbeen raised aboutthe freeness, fairness and credibility of the election.
\nThe authenticity of thepresidential mandate is being discounted. But as
\nmuch as I see Buhari as a manof immense financial integrity, I am
\ndisconsolate that the legitimacy of hismandate is being related with in
\nterms of degrees of credibility. Whereas, in2015, partisans and
\nnon-partisans celebrated his pan-Nigeria mandate, whichintegrity Jonathan
\nhelped to bolster by his acceptance of defeat, the outlook
\npresentlyappears different.<\/p>\n

Atiku hasrefused to call to congratulate Buhari. He has served notice of
\nhis intentionto challenge the outcome of the poll in court. The rite of
\npassage by which thevictory should have been conclusively appropriated has
\nbecome dilatory and willremain so unless men of goodwill quickly and
\nproductively intervene to compelAtiku to rethink his avowed plan.
\nBuhari\u2019s assurances to run an inclusive government and hischarge to his
\nparty men and women not to gloat or deride the opposition incelebration of
\nhis victory are good grounds on which to encourage politicalaccommodation
\nin the national interest.<\/p>\n

The ball is inthe court of Buhari and Atiku to pursue the path of
\npoliticalrapprochement.\u00a0 But then bothare custodians of the people\u2019s
\nmandate-one confirmed while the other isallegedly stolen. In 2015,through
\nthe sagacity of one man who shunned the path of dissonance even whenhis
\nparty men and women wanted him to do otherwise, the nation was saved from
\ntension.<\/p>\n

Now, there seemto be pent-up anger and anxiety, especially in Southern
\nNigeria, which isAtiku’s stronghold. The people are angry at the way the
\nelectoral processtransmogrified into a bloody battle, especially in
\nRivers, Bayelsa and LagosStates. Atiku would be justified to listen to his
\nfollowers whose votes inRivers, Akwa Ibom, Lagos, Anambra and Delta States
\nwere allegedly marked down.But then, the national interest is more
\nimportant than the interest of hissupporters.<\/p>\n

This is Atiku\u2019sdefining moment.\u00a0Certainly, the entire country is at a
\ncrossroads. Thetruth is that we are all in a quandary as to what future
\nlies ahead in terms ofkeeping fidelity with a promise of free, fair and
\ncredible elections by futuregovernments. A situation in which a sitting
\ngovernment uses foul means tosecure victory, knowing full well that
\nNigerians would always appeal to theopposition candidates to accept defeat
\nin the national interest, looms. Thatwill upend the utilitarian value of
\nthe Jonathan exemplar wherein oppositionscan no longer unseat incumbent
\npresidents.<\/p>\n

Significantly,beyond the magnitude of Jonathan\u2019s character of selflessness
\nis the screamingdearth of political leaders with that similitude. There is
\nalso the yearninggap in the building of strong institutions that will
\nstrengthen the integrityof the process and rein in disparate and desperate
\npolitical leaders as well asincumbent executive heads who try to deploy
\nthe institutions in the realisationof parochial, partisan agenda.<\/p>\n

Therefore,while it may seem patently unfair to either force Atiku to go to
\ncourt ormollycoddle him not to, it is agreeable that going to court is a
\nmuch betteroption than causing mayhem and making the country ungovernable.
\nLegal challengeis the right of Atiku to undertake. It reinforces our
\nconstitutional democracyand, therefore, does not detract from the footing
\nand traction of the Buhariadministration in pursuit of good governance.<\/p>\n

With anavalanche of national and international congratulatory and goodwill
\nmessagesfrom which to harvest and deploy in boosting its momentum and
\nmorale, theBuhari administration could borrow a leaf from the
\nadministration of the latePresident Umaru Yar’Adua, which in response to
\nthe 2007 massively-rigged presidentialpoll that produced it, pursued a
\ncomprehensive electoral reform.<\/p>\n

While thenation awaits the crystallization of the decisive and final
\ndirection to go by Atikuand his PDP, I join the growing list of
\nwell-wishers to congratulate the\u00a0president-electand urge him, in the
\nintervening period, to ignite the turbo-charged engine ofhis government
\nand hit the road, not just running, but speeding to the nextlevel in the
\nmaking of a better Nigeria. Reasonable expectation!<\/p>\n
