Abuja – President Goodluck Jonathan, Thursday, said he was embarrassed by the provocative utterances of some politicians which are capable of setting the country on fire.
He spoke at a special Christmas service at St. Matthew’s Anglican Church in Maitama, Abuja.
According to the president, rather than resort to provocative statements,Politicians and those who seek leadership positions in the country should be more concerned with issues.
“As a politician, you want people to elect you to perform your responsibilities. If you mean well for the country, you wouldn’t be fanning the embers of discord and hatred.
“Nigeria is no body’s personal estate, but you want to serve. If the people want you to serve, you serve. But if they say no, then leave.
“So, I get embarrassed when we the politicians make provocative statements, statements that create division among Nigerians and that can set this country ablaze.
“I don’t think that is what a leader should do; it is not the kind of seed a leader should sow.
“Those who take government by violence hardly end well, examples abound in some of these other African countries.
“So, if a politician is interested in power at any level, you don’t sow seed of discord and enmity because it will consume you if you try to” the president said.

That is NOT the President of Nigeria speaking but the president of PeeDeePee, doing his best thing from time immemorial - The Blame Game.

He is not taking responsibility for the current quagmire the country is wallowing today.

God bless u mr president!!! GEJ till 2019!!!

This is the same dunce of a president who said publicly Ibos are the backbone of his administration. The same man who said publicly that it was Ibos who voted him into office. This is the same man who threatened to withdraw soldiers from Northeast because he was criticized by a governor from Northeast. This is the same man who sat there while some Ibo's supremacists while insulting and berating Awolowo and Yorubas as a whole.

Of course,,

Buhari and co should know how to control their tongue, their supporters are illiterates who buy into their statement with out first examining the true nature of what they say. If they say babbons and blood the next thing you will see is there supporters moving up and down looking for whom to terminate.

Its convenient for GEJ to give sermons because he uses guys paid by taxpayers
.. Doyin and co to do this for him.

The problem wit our politicians is dat when dey get appointed into govt positions, dey toot d horns of d govt, but once dey re no more part of d govt, dey becom experts in detecting lapses in the existing govt....when I listen to Kwankwaso diz days, I begin to wonder if its d same guy dat was Minister of defence in this very PDP govt. He mouted praises den like a singing bird.

Jonathan,you are right! Kindly extend your sermon to Asari Dokubo,Edwin Clarke,FFK,Doyin Okupe and all PDP rats who make provocative statements that causes tension in the country.

Like calling south west people RASCALS.

This guy don carry hin ogogoro brain go church again?! Dey begin yarn megedefegede for church.

I am highly embarrassed that this dunce is the president of my great nation. Who called the SW people - rascals? Have you cautioned your Wendel Simlin aka Reno Omokri? Or should we talk about the latest bastard in town - Bastard DoyinOkupe? Or what of Olisa Metuh?

Didinrin President.

Mr. President, sir, with all due respect, if you mean what you've said please fire Bastard Okupe and Reuben Abatti tonight and put forward a press release seriously cautioning Mentuh. Then only will you be seen to be sincere and true.

Can any Jan.ja.we.ed in the house explain this statement to me and provide any proof why I should not believe that Buhari is a renowned and open terrorist who shares the same ideal with ISIS, Al shabab and Bokoharam

"Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) National Leader, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, has criticised the declaration of state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States and the subsequent military offensive against the Boko Haram Islamic sect.Buhari, who featured on the “Guest of the Week,” a Hausa programme of the Kaduna-based Liberty Radio, yesterday said the federal government’s action was a gross injustice against the north."

And he shd openly call Asari Dokubo to order.

I am sure the president is prepared for all these attacks and that is why a contract was given to Mr. Government Tompolo to procure 5 battle ships in order to prepare for war without involving the armed forces. The Nigerian Naval ought to have been given this responsibility if it was a national issue. We hope the security unit and other political parties should not overlook this issue as there have not been any criticism of this dangerous plan.

True. I always get embarrassed anytime pa Buhari is talking to the press.

when I read statements like this,I get upset. Do you know what a battle ship looks like? Do you know how much it cost to buy one? And how much does it cost to maintain the battle ship? Because you are looking for cheap propaganda,and any available opportunity for your smear campaign,you do not scrutinise any information that is being disseminated. Ask your self,how many battle ships does Nigeria have.

What about the ones we heard from your spoke men?.

to be frank...I doubt he said this or does he not know how politics are run in Nigeria.

APC and their noise makers should better know how to control their lousy mouth.

I was embarrassed too when i heard him(gej) say "the surprising thing is, the person making that threat of parallel gov't is a christain ". What this statement frm jonathan means is that muslims are violent and known with such threat of violence, since he was shocked to hear a christain make it.
This man is divisive and clannish!

okotv:

he said these- i watched him on tv. He's pretending not to hear politics of hate that asari , govnor shema and other of his supporters preach.

lilprinze:

all we're saying is, give us free, fair and credible election or, get ready for a parallel gov't in Nigeria.

WORD!

GEJ is a confirmed hypocrite and comedian.

He openly called SW politicians rascals and he has given the go ahead to his attack dogs, FFK, Abati, Doyin Okupe, Olisa Metuh et all to provoke opposition members but now posturing as a saint.

If I were you, I will have packed 90% of my luggage getting set to go back to Otuoke next year because we're booting you out soon.
