WHY JONATHAN LOST 2015 ELECTION, DELE FAROTIMI

Human rights activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, has shared his insights on why former President Goodluck Jonathan lost the 2015 presidential election to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Farotimi, who recently met Jonathan at Chief Ayo Adebanjo’s residence, described the former president as a “man of peace” who was unwilling to engage in aggressive tactics to maintain power.

According to Farotimi, Jonathan’s peaceful nature ultimately contributed to his defeat in the 2015 election.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Noble Nigeria, Farotimi disclosed that during this encounter, he observed Jonathan closely and came to understand why the All Progressives Congress (APC) was able to defeat him in the 2015 election. He said Jonathan is a peaceful person. He stated that Jonathan was not willing to engage in the aggressive tactics often used by politicians to maintain power at all costs.

In Farotimi’s words: “I was opportune to meet President Jonathan in person last month. I was part of those who had to receive him at Chief Ayo Adebanjo’s residence after papa died. I looked at Jonathan and I realized why the APC could do what it did in 2015. Jonathan is a man of peace”
