President Goodluck Jonathan has looked back on his life from 1999 when he was the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa state and said, “I think it is enough.” President Jonathan said this on Sunday while receiving residents of the Federal Capital Territory who were led by Vice President Namadi Sambo to pay him Easter homage at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The President said, “For me as an individual, this Easter coincides with the time I am leaving but I always say that I am one of the luckiest Nigerians. I am yet to see somebody luckier than me. “From 1999, I was in the hands of government for 16 years. Not just in government as a parliamentarian because if you are a Senator or House of Representatives member, you take care of yourself, you live in your own house. “I was in a cage, being taken care of by the government. From May 29, 1999 to date; 16 good years. I think it is enough and I am happy, help me to thank God for that. “I will continue to thank Nigerians for giving me that privilege. I became a deputy governor because Bayelsans voted for me and my governor then. I became a Vice President because Nigerians voted for Yar’Adua and myself. “I continued in 2011 because Nigerians voted for me and Architect Namadi Sambo. I have to thank all Nigerians. Wherever I will be, I will remain grateful to this great country. Today is a glorious day for me.” President Jonathan further said Easter, is a period of sacrifice. He called on Nigerians to be ready to make sacrifice for the survival of the government irrespective of who is the President at a given time, adding that since his days as deputy governor in Bayelsa, he kept telling people that what he needed from them was patriotism and not loyalty. He said nation building depends on sacrifice and patriotism. He cited the examples of soldiers and policemen who he said were dying daily in their fight against Boko Haram in order for others to live.Read full story here:

Give us the full story

He is a sportsmanship man

You are leaving as the most democratic president Nigeria has ever had.
You gave Nigerians the ultimate freedom they wished for, the freedom of expression through the ballot and through their voices. They have seen what it finally feels like and they will demand for nothing less from future presidents.
Adios Mr Goodluck Jonathan.

You said my mind sir,time will tell oh....

You are lucky indeed. The only problem was that you allowed your wife and bad friends to cut short your luckyness. Just enjoy the last one month and some days remaining of those luck. You can sponsor Mama P to contest as the governor of Bayelsa next year. From there she can make it as the Vice President and when her President dies, she will then be a President. Well na u sabi wetin you go answer. May you go answer Papa peace. This will make you people to return to Aso. I am just advising shaaaaa.
God bless you richly GEJ.
