“He just told a pack of lies from day one. He has his whole village thinking he is some sort of war hero. I wasn’t even impressed or particularly bothered that he was in the SAS, but he would just go on about it constantly: every day he had a new story to tell. He’d apparently been all over the world on secret missions.

The Five (5) Notable African Incumbent Leaders/Presidents Who Concede Defeat To Opposition

These Are The African Presidents Who Are As Of Today Otherwise Known As 'Heroes Of Democracy': GEJ Of Nigeria Just Made The List!

The singular act of President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria after the presidential elections held on Saturday the 28th of March 2015, has elevated him to the status of a statesman and Hero of Democracy, not only in Nigeria, but Africa where such action is a rarity.

According to a research conducted via Wikipedia and  Naij.com, the following African leaders numbering five, have been discovered as the renowned Hero of Democracy since 1967.

1. ADEN ABDULLAH OSMAN DAAR (SOMALIA): Aden Daar is a Somali politician popularly known as Aden Adde. He was the first President of Somalia, serving from July 1, 1960 to June 10, 1967. Daar joined the incipient Somali Youth League (SYL) political party in 1944, a nationalist organization that campaigned for an independent Somalia. Quickly rising through the ranks, he became the local secretary of the SYL’s Beledweyne branch in 1946.

A decade later, he became Chairman of the National Legislative Assembly, and would eventually lead the SYL itself two years afterwards. By the time Somalia gained its independence in 1960, Daar had attained widespread prominence as a nationalist figure.

ADEN ABDULLAH OSMAN DAAR

In short order, he was elected the country’s first President, a position he would assume from 1960 to 1967. Fellow SYL member Haji Bashir Ismail Yusuf would serve as the first President of the Somali National Assembly on 1 July 1960.

They won’t be used for 2015 elections. Everything here is non sensitive. Police on ground and security investigation is on.”

They asked for the immediate resignation or sack of INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, over his insistence on the use of card readers for the general elec­tions.
