AUDIO: Historic concession phone call Between Buhari And Jonathan

President Jonathan made the call a little past 5P.M. on Monday after it became clear his party had lost the election.
At the time the call was made, the Independent National Electoral Commission was yet to declare Mr. Buhari winner because it was still expecting results from Nigeria's remote Borno State.
By the time the Borno vote was added to the tally, Mr. Buhari garnered 15,416,221 votes to Mr. Jonathan's 12,853, 162 votes.
The historic concession telephone call defused tension across Nigeria and has thrown up Mr. Jonathan as a democracy hero.
That conversation is believed to have saved Nigeria from descending into violence in the aftermath of the election.

Read full transcript of the conversation below.
Caller: Your excellency, sir. Hope I'm speaking with General Buhari, sir. President Goodluck Jonathan would like to speak with you, sir.
Receiver: Yes. Okay, hold on.
Jonathan: Your Excellency
Receiver: Hold on, sir.

Jonathan: In a few days find time to come so that we can sort out how to plan the transitional period.

Jonathan: Okay, congratulations
Buhari: My respects, Your Excellency. Thank you.
