Taking into cognisance his political rise from deputy governor to governor and later vice-president to president, President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday said providence had smiled on him as he was the luckiest Nigerian ever.

Jonathan stated this when he received a delegation of Christians who paid him an Easter homage at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

According to him, in the last 16 years, he had always been in government houses and fed with public funds.

“I am one of the luckiest Nigerian, for 16 years, I have been taken care by government. I think it is enough and I thank God for that. I continue to thank Nigerians for the opportunity. Today, I must say I am grateful to this country,” he said.

He thanked the delegation for the homage paid on him, saying Easter is a period to reflect on the essence of “our belief. Because we believe without the resurrection, they would not have been Christianity.

“Whenever we talk about this period, the key lessons there is sacrifice. Somebody sacrificed for our own salvation.

“So as a people, as a government, what I always believed is we should ask what sacrifice are we making. Now is not about supporting Jonathan or government, now Muhamadu Buhari is coming on board, is not about supporting Buhari or government but what sacrifice as individual are you willing to make for government and for the nation.

“If you are a businessman and you say you are supporting government but you don’t pay tax, how do you expect that government to survive? That government will not survive.
