According to a new book, Jonathan and the PDP almost prevented a Buhari presidency through a military takeover. Former President Goodluck Jonathan conceded victory to Muhammadu Buhari in a phone conversation as the 2015 election results poured in; but behind the scenes, he asked his political party to contest the result in court.That’s according to a new book titled “On a platter of gold: how Jonathan won and lost Nigeria” by current APC spokesperson Bolaji Abdullahi who served as Sports Minister in the Jonathan cabinet.An advance copy of the book was made available to TheCable. The online platform has been serialising excerpts from the book all week. According to the author; “many in President Jonathan’s circles were still convinced that he had moved too quickly to congratulate Buhari. As they saw it, he should have tarried a while and possibly consulted more. “In spite of what had happened however, it was still possible to salvage something. Jonathan’s call had more or less shut the door on everything.
