Former Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, says it is better to lose power and gain honour.

Jonathan, who made this known in a Facebook post on Friday, recommended this ‘philosophy’ to all leaders facing ‘challenging situations at the polls’.

He wrote, “Nobody’s ambition is worth the blood of any citizen. It is better to gain honour at the cost of losing power than to gain power at the cost of losing honour.

“At any point in time, the power of love should matter more than the love of power.

“This is my philosophy. I have lived it. It has brought great peace to both my beloved nation and I. And I recommend it to all leaders facing challenging situations, either in government, or at the polls, or even in their dealings with fellow political actors.”

Jonathan, who sought reelection on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party in 2015, had conceded defeat to the incumbent Nigerian President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), of the All Progressives Congress.

Although Jonathan was not specific about the world ‘leaders’ he made the recommendation to, his statement was made at a time when the United States is electing a new President to lead the nation for another four years.

The incumbent American President, Donald Trump, and his Democrat challenger Joe Biden are presently slugging it out at the polls but the electoral college votes are tilting in favour of Biden who is some figures shy from the magic number of 270.

The Republican candidate has, however, been alleging fraud in the voting process. Trump has also threatened that the election would end up at the US Supreme Court.

Power left you. You had no choice.

It is not an easy thing to do but it is more honorable.

Jonathan has rest of mind than PMB.

I hate buhari but Jonathan irritates me I hate him with passion

Is this failure whose ineptitude landed us in this disaster called Buhari still chanting this nonsense?

The only person who is a more failure than GEJ in Nigeria since 1999 is Buhari.

In fact, Buhari's acute failure is the only reason Nigerians do not stone this man anywhere they see him.

This man bleeds green

A true Patriot

Only those who are careless and clueless about power always lost it

[/s] Buhari is more careless and more clueless. By the way, GEJ is neither clueless nor careless, it is the voters that are both clueless and careless and that's why they are now "enjoying'' Buhari's bloody government.

Unfortunately, the sit tight policy of most african leaders won't allow them heed to your advice

see who dey talk? so for GEJ mind now he gain honour after losing to Buhari in 2015.....
you saw you were losing and had no support outside to butress your claims of electoral fraud and same trump is losing yet crying foul cos he never imagine such.....
it's good to know wen the chips are down so that you dnt even enter the race to contest in the first place....GEJ would have gain more honour if you had never contested the 2015 election and allow the north complete their two terms!

The most intelligent president... Nigeria has ever had.


But we needed more so God gave us more....but this time he made it the other way round ..and we r suffering for it
