In as much as GEJ isn't a saint and certainly not without flaws, his words and disposition depicts wisdom and humility. Present and future politicians as well as citizens, I included, should be able to pick positive points from him with a view to making Nigeria a better nation for us and future generations.

Anyone that believes Jonathan is a gentleman is the biggest fool in the country. This man used bullion vans to cart money away from our commonwealth. This man sprayed our money, our commonwealth to political patrons in the name of winning elections. This man and his wife stashed so much money away, that even the international media is awe stricken at how much she was able to garner as First Lady. And you people seriously think this guy is a hero? He was using Diezani to pump money everywhere!!! Money we could have spent in rescuing our country during the oil price slump in 2014!!! You people supporting this man are scum! Scum of this earth!!! angry

"Nigeria Is Nobody’s Personal Estate, It Belongs To All Nigerians” - Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday advised politicians to stop sowing seeds of discord. He added that despite the embarrassing utterances made by certain politicians in the country, Nigerians are the ones to decide who will govern them after the 2015 general polls, as Nigeria is nobody's personal estate.

The President made the remark while speaking at a special Christmas service at St. Mathew’s Anglican Church in Maitama, Abuja.

He urged politicians to market themselves without at­tacking him, saying that only Nigerians will decide their leaders at all levels.

He also made a veiled reference to Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amae­chi who recently threat­ened that the APC was ready to form a parallel government if next year’s elections are rigged. Jona­than questioned the basis of such threats, saying there was nothing that should make any office seeker brag that he would win his election.

In his words, “As a politician, you want people to elect you, to perform a responsibil­ity. If you mean well for the country, the country is nobody’s personal estate but you want to serve. If people want you to serve, you serve, if they say no, you leave”

“Nigeria is nobody’s per­sonal estate, Nigeria is no­body’s business enterprise, Nigeria is nobody’s father’s property, it belongs to all Ni­gerians.”

“I get embarrassed when we the politicians, maybe includ­ing me, make provocative statements; statements that create division among Nigerians; statements that can set this country ablaze. I don’t think that is what a leader should do. I don’t think that is the kind of seed a leader should sow.”

“Those who take govern­ment by violence, look at African countries, those who kill to take power, they never end well. Few cases, yes, probably in a society not everybody goes the same way but on the aver­age one has recently happened in west Africa.”

“If a politician wants to take power whether at the House of Assembly level, at the House of Representa­tives or Senate or governor or president, you don’t sow seed of discord and enmity because of course, it will consume you.”

“As a nation, we know that if anybody who has the privilege of being a gover­nor of a state after serving, he becomes a senior citizen of that state, it is your duty to assist in-coming govern­ment.”

“If you happen to serve as the head of government or as a president of this coun­try, in fact at the national level, we have the highest authority called the Coun­cil of State, the permanent members of the council of state are past presidents and past Chief Justices of the country. The idea is that they have vast experience in a number of things and they can bring their expe­riences to bear in terms of advising any president at any time. That was why that body was created by the constitution.”

“But if we abuse our­selves, kill ourselves to be in office, then who will fin­ish serving and still want to attend the Council of State meeting for somebody who probably abused you through life, it is not pos­sible.”

“For us who are look­ing for various offices, we should just talk about what we can do for Nigerians, you can market yourself but not to sow the seed of discord.”

“For a politician to stand up, who is even a Christian to say that if he fails elec­tion, he will form a parallel government. What makes him feel that he must win the election? Even me as a serving president, what makes me feel I must win the election, no matter what I think I am? Nige­rians will decide who will govern them at the state level, or federal level, state assemblies or the National Assembly in terms of the federal constituencies and the senatorial districts.”

“It is not you – who is looking for the office – to think that you are the best person to be there. Are you the most qualified person, even by certificates? Are you telling me your certificate is larger than that of others, or you even have more certificates? It is the choice of the people and the will of God”. The president concluded.

God bless GEJ.

Nnamdi Kalu said this in 2014:
“As they campaign vigorously for elections you would think
they are coming to grow the economy, enthrone justice,
breed unity and tolerance and love for one another. No!
They are coming to enthrone Hausa/Fulani supremacy, to
reposition the security agencies by sacking all competent
hands and replace them with their kinsmen in order to drive
their ethnic domination of the south. The Fulani herdsmen
will be armed and encouraged to slaughter us with impurity
and their masters will protect them. They are coming to
ensure that my people are enslaved forever. Those who do
not believe me will soon see it happen before their eyes.
The Fulani will take over the entire south as a continuation
of their age-long agenda to Islamise Eastern Nigeria. They
will brazenly seize our land in pretence of creating grazing
fields for the Fulani. Then the conquest will be complete
and we will become their serfs forever.”‎ ‎

You can only call those who fought for democracy hero's of democracy and not those who uphold the struggle of the heroes.

that statement is not correct. nigeria has owner.

but goodluck is correct, politician have no busy to attending council of state except they are invited. mr obasanjo is an illiterate, mr obasanjo want to boss everybody.. and does not want to go away..

mr obasanjo lack of education shows in his character.. So dont blame him, for the agbero approach to everything. mr obasanjo may have been a bus conductor(agbero). bus conductor alway fight over everything even when they are wrong.
