I’m not desperate to serve, says Jonathan MARCH 20, 2015 : OLALEKAN ADETAYO, ABUJA 46 COMMENTS President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday said although he was ready and willing to continue to serve as the President of the country, he was not desperate to continue in office. He said, that was the reason he had remained unruffled despite the various things that had been said or written about him. Jonathan spoke at the public launch of a book, “The People’s Choice: The story of President Goodluck Jonathan,” written by Rev. Fr. Charles Imokhai. Over N175m was donated by individuals and groups at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja venue of the launch of the four-part book which chronicles the life of the President including his educational background, political career and family among others. Jonathan advised politicians who are interested in occupying any elective position either at state or federal level not to be desperate. He said the only things needed were readiness and willingness. The President said, “My second message is to all of us, especially those of us who are politicians, that for all of us who want to serve, we should be ready to serve but we should not be desperate to serve our people. “Sometimes, people ask me that Mr. President, from what we read and what we see, we see you still smiling and unruffled. “Yes, nothing will really ruffle me because I am willing and ready to serve but I am not desperate to serve. That is what keeps me going. “All of us who want to hold offices from the least, a counselor of a ward or a chairman of a council, a member of the state House of Assembly or member of House of Representatives, Senate, Governor or the President, if all of us are always ready and willing to serve our people but we are not desperate in that our mission, then of course Nigeria will be a better place for all of us.” Jonathan who described the story of his life as a humble one noted that most accounts of his life so far published are not accurate. He said while the book being presented provided an account that is close to being accurate, he would write the most accurate one after leaving office. He promised that as long as he remains the President, he would continue to come up with programmes that will help young people. While expressing the confidence that beneficiaries of his administration’s YouWin Programme would be shocking the country in the next 10 to 15 years, he also said a product of the Almijiri schools being established by his government would one day become the President of the country. He said that was why he is passionate about education and decided to increase the number of federal universities across the country. http://www.punchng.com/news/im-not-desperate-to-serve-says-jonathan/ 7 Likes |

A fool will always think everyone is a fool. He's indeed not desperate and he orchestrated the postponement of the election in feb.14 when it was obvious he was losing, he's not desperate he has embarked on hateful and smearing campaign, he's not desperate he has sponsored propaganda on TV and newspapers, he is not desperate he has been doling out dollars to different groups begging for election, he is not desperate he has been jumping from the alter to the shrines, he's not desperate for election he has been kneeling down before the yoruba kings begging for a re-election, he is not desperate he has been sponsoring violent protest across the country, he is not desperate his wife has lost all sense of civility and class that should ordinarily be attributed to the wife of a president, he's not desperate he has suddenly become a superman doing what he has not been able to do for six years in six weeks to the election. Jonathan, Nigerians are not fools, we can clearly read desperation all over you, though you said this to the taNoids that like to listening to you deceiving them. 224 Likes 21 Shares |

Even a person of average intelligence should be able to know an act of political desperation when he/she sees one; and anybody who fails to see REAL DESPERATION in GEJ's actions in the last couple of months, such a person either has below average intelligence or is being dishonest (or both). What does the president want us to call the following, among many others, if not acts of political desperation? - his recent shuttling to SW - his new found and now sustained commitment to end the BH in surgency - his recent signing of the pipeline contract to OPC - his recent release of compensation payments to victims of NIS recruitment scam - his meeting with his former secondary school classmates in the villa (for the first time) - his re-dusting of Obanikoro for - his recent questionable posting of AIG Mba and other security officers of similar character to the SW - his failed attempt to oust Tambuwal as speaker, using the the security agencies to intimidate the lawmakers - his encouraging (or at least condoning) of the spate of well-orchestrated attempts by Clark, Dokubo and OPC to try to damage the integrity and reputation of Jega - - - - - - - - - etc, So the president can say he is not desperate, but his actions in the past one year clearly portray him not just as desperate, but as a selfishly and dangerously desperate person. 120 Likes 6 Shares |
