President Goodluck Jonathan has described
himself as one of the luckiest Nigerians alive,
saying having held principal positions in
government since 1999, he has had enough.
Speaking on Sunday when residents of the federal
capital territory (FCT), led by Namadi Sambo, the
outgoing vice-president, visited him at the
presidential villa in commemoration of Easter,
Jonathan expressed appreciation to Nigerians for
giving him the opportunity to serve. “I am one of
the luckiest Nigerians. I am yet to see somebody
luckier than me,” he said. “From 1999, I was in the
hands of government for 16 years. Not just in
government as a parliamentarian because if you
are a senator or house of representatives member,
you take care of yourself, you live in your own
house. “I was in a cage, being taken care of by the
government for 16 good years. I think it is enough
and I am happy; help me to thank God for that and
I will continue to thank Nigerians for giving me
that privilege. Wherever I will be, I will remain
grateful to this great country.” Jonathan urged
Nigerians to make sacrifices that would help in
transforming the country for the better. “I always
believe we should ask, ‘What sacrifice are you
making’? It is not about supporting Jonathan or
government, now Buhari is coming on board. It is
not about supporting Burhari or government, but
what sacrifice as individual are you willing to make
for government and for the nation?” he asked. “If
you are a businessman and you say you are
supporting government but you don’t pay tax, how
do you expect that government to survive?
“Whenever I travel to different countries and see
things work, those things didn’t fall down as
manner; people made sacrifice, therefore in
Nigeria, people must also be ready to make the
required sacrifice. “Nation-building depends on the
sacrifice of individuals and the patriotism of the
citizens. These are two key elements, we must be
ready to sacrifice for our nation.” Responding,
Sambo said Jonathan had contributed his own
quota to the development of the country, adding
that his name would be written in gold for
conceding defeat after losing the election. “With
the contributions and actions you took, your name
will be written in gold not only in Nigeria, but in
Africa and world,” he said. “I’m forever loyal. We
are a member of one family and will remain one
family.

I agree with you, Mr President. You are the luckiest president and the luckiest politician Nigeria has ever had.
But I can assure you, Sir, you would be missed, believe me.
Nigerians will still have a cause for retrospection and wished they [still] had you as their president. You did your part and you equally did your best.
Please retire well, Mr President, and enjoy the rest of your life in peace and happiness. God bless you, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
