Overcoming Setbacks: Jonathan’s Post-Election Resilience
Former President Goodluck Jonathan reflected on his experience following his loss in Nigeria’s 2015 presidential election, describing a period where he felt “the world was against him.”
Jonathan shared that many political allies distanced themselves from him after his defeat to Muhammadu Buhari, leaving him feeling isolated.
However, he credited the late Raymond Dokpesi, founder of DAAR Communications, for offering him crucial encouragement during this time.
Dokpesi’s support and reassurance helped Jonathan to find resilience, even hosting an event to uplift his spirits, which made Jonathan realize that there could still be life and purpose after a political setback.
