Former President Goodluck Jonathan has again preached peace to nations around the world, saying it is preferable to gain honour and lose power.

Igbere TV reports that his Facebook post on Friday came at the time sources in US President Donald Trump’s camp said he was not considering conceding defeat if he loses the election to Democrat Joe Biden.

“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,” Mr Jonathan wrote.

“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 sought re-election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015.

In a move considered first in the nation’s history, he conceded defeat to the incumbent Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

I wish the best candidate all the best

Trump and his untrained sons should swallow their pride and congratulate the new president-elect, Joe Biden.

Who would've thought a time like this would come, with GEJ giving valid political advice to a sitting American president?

Goodluck Jonathan was an incompetent administrator, no doubt, but the decisions he took on that election day back in 2015 have earned him a place in world history as a true statesman

Very valid and wise words. Nice one @ Sir GEJ. As for me, I love honour and i will live by it......................

Damnnn niggarrrr
The hero of democracy

It is now obvious that Jonathan was a real niggarr

Tell the troublesome Trump

Chinemeremjosh0:

You mean you wish Joe Biden all the best

Ok


GEJ your decision served a lot of innocent life because PMB wouldn't have agreed otherwise.

Forget baba. He said the truth

Nigeria is now advising America about principles of democracy.

Trump really exposed America.

Trump you better listen and do the needful

U can't say because you are the president of a country, u'll be spewing thrash at different people. Trump cannot eat his cake and have it. Even if u want to talk be diplomatic about it. Blacks, immigrants, women etc felt the wrath of his mouth of the careless talker and he expects a 2nd term?

Jonathan throwing shade at trump

Jonathan!

You practiced what you preach.
For that you have my respect sir.

True words. No wonder the comment garnered over 20k likes in just 3 hours. He's a man of peace and will always be known for that.

Uncle jona borrow trump your phone, that one Dem Dy use concede defeat, congratulate your opponent. But wait oh. This US election na ABACUS Dem use Dy count am? I no come understand again

Jonathan has spoken, even if we didn't like his presidency he still did the right thing in the end.

Power belongs to God! When Jesus appears in the clouds from Heaven again and subdues everyone and everything with his glory, then this world will finally know the meaning of REAL POWER!
