According to the post, Jonathan’s decision allegedly exposed Nigerians to hardship under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The comment has triggered mixed reactions online, with some users defending Jonathan’s action as a step that helped prevent post-election violence.

Jonathan conceded defeat to Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential election, a move that was widely praised at the time for promoting peace and stability.
