| President Goodluck Jonathan |
Barely a month to his exit, having
lost the Presidential election, President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday,
reviewed his sojourn in government and declared that he has been in a cage for
16 years.
President Jonathan, who bared his
mind when the Christian community in Abuja paid him the traditional Easter
homage, said he has had enough and expressed gratitude to Nigerians for giving
him the opportunity to serve.
While describing himself as one of
the luckiest Nigerians today, President Jonathan said Nigerians had given him
opportunity to serve the country in the last 16 years at different levels of
leadership, noting that he remained grateful to God and the people of the
country for providing him with such privilege.
His words: “This Easter period
coincides with when I’m leaving but I
always say I’m one of the luckiest
Nigerians. From 1999, I have been in the hands of government. I am yet to see
somebody who is luckier than me.
“I was in the hands of governments
for 16 years, not in government as a parliamentarian, because if you are in the
National Assembly or state House of Assembly, you take care of yourself in your
house. I was in a cage being taken care of by the government. But I think it is
enough and I am happy. Help me thank God for that.”
