who refused to visit Borno State or Sambisa Forest when the Chibok girls were kidnapped for months and months? The victims families eventually came to him.If the President could not visit Borno state with all the security he could summon,cos he was scared of Boko Haram,how can he then say he was prepared to die for Nigeria? I am still baffled at that one.See more of President Jonathan's speech at his farewell service below.
“When I look at the whole picture of my life up to when I became the president of this country, I say that if soldiers and police officers that have not received 0. 5 percent of the benefits that I have received from the state can lay their lives for this country, I should do anything in the interest of Nigeria including paying the supreme price.
As long as live, I will continue to do my best for the state because the state has helped
me as a person. I have to thank Nigerians especially my state for giving me the opportunity to serve as deputy governor and the whole country gave me the opportunity to serve as Vice President and then president, first was to complete the tenure of the late president and later serve as president from which I am exiting now as a very happy and fulfilled man.
I believe there are reasons for everything. Some hard decisions have their own cost, no doubt about that. That I have ran the government this way that stabilized certain things, the electoral process and other things that brought stability into this country. They were very costly decisions which I myself must be ready to pay for.
Some people come to me and say this or that person is he not your friend that benefited. Is it not your government that this person benefited from? But this is what the person is saying. But I used to say worse statements will come. If you take certain decisions, you should know that those close to you will even abandon you at some point. And I tell them that more of my so-called friends will disappear.”I can never understand President Jonathan's way of thinking and i for one am glad he is out of Aso Rock! No matter what you have achieved,how can you say you are leaving Aso Rock a happy and contended man when so many people were killed in Nigeria? Over 200 Chibok girls kidnapped have still not be found and you say you are happy and contended? How come he never talks about regrets and things he wishes he has done but instead talking about his needless achievements? Any good leader,would have said,all that we have achieved comes to nothing because i will for ever regret the thousands of Nigerian lives lost,the many children killed and abducted.Who advises these people anyway?
