Goodluck Jonathan

Goodluck Jonathan became president following the death of President Umaru Yar'Adua. He was later elected in his own right in the 2011 presidential election, winning a majority of votes.

Jonathan's government attempted to remove fuel subsidies, leading to nationwide protests known as the 'Occupy Nigeria' movement. The protests forced the government to partially reverse the policy, highlighting public discontent.

Jonathan lost the 2015 presidential election to Muhammadu Buhari. In a historic move, he conceded defeat before the official results were announced, preventing post-election violence and setting a precedent for peaceful democratic transitions in Nigeria.
