Nigerians Will Praise Me After Leaving Office - Jonathan by Hormoniyi(m): 7:46pm On Dec 30, 2014 |
President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday said he did not expect Nigerians to shower praises on him while he is still in office. He said it was normal that public office holders would only be commended after leaving office by the time his achievements were being compared with others. Jonathan spoke while granting audience to a delegation from his home state, Bayelsa. Members of the delegation led by Governor Seriake Dickson were in the Presidential Villa, Abuja to felicitate with him on Christmas and New Year festivities. The President said notwithstanding the various challenges facing the country, he would do his best to make his people proud. He said, “I always say that I will not even expect praises now because hardly do people praise serving leaders. It is when you leave, people will begin to know. “When you leave, people will begin to compare what you have done over the period vis-a-vis what others have done, then they will compare you with whoever takes over. “Probably that is the time some people will begin to say good about you. But I will do my best to make sure that we do change things. “We are trying to create enabling environment for our economy to thrive irrespective of the challenges we are having in the petroleum sector and the security challenges we have. “I will do my best so that by the time I will leave, you will be able to say that when our son was there, he served the country well so that one day, another son of Bayelsa may be given another opportunity to serve Nigerians.” Jonathan observed that it has become the norm worldwide for people to be lambasting their leaders, especially on the social media. He regretted that people are using different things that have been created by people’s knowledge for negative purposes. He cited an example of dynamite, saying the inventor regretted when he realised the destructive purposes people have turned the item to. The President added, “I assure you that I am here by the grace of God and with the willingness of Nigerians. If Nigerians say I shouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t have been here. We contested election in 2011 and Nigerians voted for us. “I am your own, if I don’t do well, the shame will be on you. If I do well, you will have some kind of pride. I will do my best. www.punchng.com/news/nigerians-will-praise-me-after-leaving-office-says-jonathan/ 32 Likes 2 Shares |

I will actually praise GEJ so well if he leaves in 2015. A free and fair election will definitely throw GEJ bck to Otueke. If he concedes defeat and goes home, then he will be respected ever. 247 Likes 8 Shares |

GEJ don't even have to leave office before the praises come, millions of Nigerians are already praising him for the good works he has done. By the time GEJ leaves office in 2019, more Nigerians will come to appreciate the foundation he laid down to put this country on a strong footing, towards the path of Progress and Economic Development. 203 Likes 18 Shares |

This man is an epitome of humility. For the fact that he has said he doesn't want people to praise him now, but should rather wait until he is out of power (by 2019), shows that he knows his onion and what he is doing. Again I want to sound that APC supporters are being overly optimistic. This is dangerous in the sense that, when all of that optimism is dashed by 2015, it will be difficult for them to believe and may lead to several suicides and post election violence. Pls, APC supporters, do not be decieved by what you see online. Elections are not won on the pages of Newspaper. Only 1% of the Nigerian population read newspaper. The real voters are the farmers out there, whose lots these government has bettered; they are the teeming youths who are daily empowered via YOUWIN. They are the road users. They are Nigerians who'll no longer be turned back from receiving emergency attention in hospitals. They are the pregnant women, children and elderly, who will now be entitled to free medicare. All of these is courtesy the newly accented health bill by GEJ. It is my desire that there'll be a presidential debate. GEJ till 2019... 56 Likes 6 Shares |
