President Goodluck Jonathan has said he would no longer be bothered about negative comments and criticisms of his administration.

Instead, he said he has his eyes on history and would prefer posterity to judge him.

President Jonathan said this at the funeral church service held for his wife’s adopted mother, Madam Charity Oba, in Okrika town, Rivers state today.

He said the celebration of the death of his in-law is enough pointer to politicians and political office holders to leave lasting legacies that would sign post their performance while holding public office.

President Jonathan said he would have delivered enough goods for Nigerians to remember him after leaving office as President,

“To me as a political leader and most of my friends here who are politicians, politics or holding political offices is almost like death. While you are there, you are on the stage. The day you leave, what would people remember you for? That has always being my guiding principle.

“No matter the comments; whether the comments are to the left or the comments are to the right or at the centre, what challenges me every day is that the day I step out of the State House, what would the present and future generations of Nigerians remember me for. I believe that is what will guide most of us who are holding political offices. So, for today, I have to thank you. Sisi has done well and we are remembering her. My family is the family that will surely remember her”, he said.

The security presence in Okrika was overwhelming as gunboats were deployed in all Okrika waterways, while airforce helicopters hovered in the skies several times.

Who cares about your style?

I guess that's why the "Office of the First Lady" can hold an entire airport runway hostage for hours because one old woman wey don old enough to die suddenly die in a car accident on the same road where many Nigerians still lost their lives daily as a result of her dullard husband's failure to tackle infrastructural problem in the country, and that's simple because they both "DON'T GIVE A DAMN". This fresh air is too fresh.

Good talk GEJ

GEJ till 2019

You are damn full of hatred for the first lady but let me tell you critics are not always celebrated.
I quite believe your wife will surely do more than this if you have the grace to be the first Man but I doubt this with the way you cast aspersion on the first lady.
Its God that put them there they will surely report to Him one day. So leave poo for the carrier.

LOL! She added so much weight o! She better watch it though.

Is good that GEJ knw dat Nigerian's are critisizing his administration, while criticism is good 2 help u do good. Fight coruption no be 2 de talk wt ur nose as usual

Good one GEJ.

To be a man, you must define your own style. Trying to impress or adjust unnecessarily to others thinking will not only confuse you but derail you.

Yeah just the right words to say Mr president. Intelligent statement, precise and straight to the point and some people are already having sleepless night.

Six packs indeed! I dey laff o!

Assuming dt GEJ cn reason well, by being d most criticised president in d country. No prophet need to tel him dt he has lost d support of d masses. Come 2015, he will be out of power wether he lyk it or nt nd 200 lyks on NL cannot save him cos i knw dt most of u ve nt even mature to vote.

The president already told us "people can insult me FROM HEAD TO TOE I am not bothered" in his second to last presidential media chat.
Just like a roadside orange seller (no offence to orange sellers). He's such an irritant.

Nothing new here. Give that man just 10mins to have a spontaneous conversation without first having rehearsals and he'd release an album of incoherent gaffes. Wish I could meet one of his students to explain to me how he fared in front of the class.
