President Goodluck Jonathan Sunday expressed regret over the tendency of politicians to adopt a pull-him-down approach to every issue.

He said the most worrisome aspect of the criticism was that they do so even when they know the right thing but probably because they feel the best way of getting a position was to criticise and take adversarial positions against him.

He said at a church service to mark his birthday in the Presidential Villa, Abuja that it had become normal as any leader who had made considerable contribution to the welfare of the people to be commonly vilified and pulled down.

He thanked God for keeping him alive as he had made up his mind to take what comes on the political turf since he made up his mind to contest for the position of Deputy Governor.

“I thank God for keeping me alive to discharge the responsibilities of my office. When I decided to contest for the position of Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, I prepared my mind for any eventuality, and God has been faithful to me,” he said.

HE's seeing it the wrong way. It's more like tell-him-the-plain-truth syndrome!
