I can’t be a party to Nigeria’s disintegration – Jonathan




President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday said he would never be a part of any action that can lead to Nigeria’s disintegration.

He said the predictions that the country would cease to exist in 2015 could have come true if he had not taken the decision to concede defeat in the March 28 Presidential election.

Looking back, he said he was happy he took that decision because Nigerians still have a country to call their own.

Jonathan spoke while receiving members of the Universal Peace Foundation who were in the Presidential Villa, Abuja, to confer on him an award of Peace-Loving Global Citizen.

He said it was his commitment to the unity of the country that made his administration to put together the National Conference in order to address the issues that tend to divide Nigerians.

The President said, “Everybody knew about the predictions (that Nigeria will cease to exist by 2015). Anything could have made those predictions become true. After all, we fought a civil war for about three years before as a nation.

“We have our challenges, the idea of that National Conference is to look at these weak cleavages we have in this country.

“We just finished that conference and were thinking of how to implement its recommendations so that Nigeria will become a stronger and more united nation.

“I cannot be a party to the disintegration of the country. I am quite pleased with what has happened. We have a country, the country will be more united.

“We only pray that the incoming government should appreciate the contributions of everybody and see how we can run Nigeria as a country that belongs to everybody: all citizens, irrespective of political affiliations or creeds.”

Jonathan said Vice President Namadi Sambo who ran on the same ticket with him and the Peoples Democratic Party that provided the platform for them should also share in the encomium being showered on him.

While saying if he had won the election, Sambo too would have remained in office, the President said by that singular act, the two of them would be packing out of their offices on Friday.

He said he took the decision to concede defeat because he had always been telling those around him that there must be a nation before individuals can talk of ambitions.

He added that it has also been his position that even if he would be the President for 25 years, he would not be happy if Nigerians are killed because of him.

He said it was one thing to hold office, and it was another thing to be happy and be satisfied with one’s conscience.

“Yes, there are different human beings. If you look at the behaviours of people, even among siblings, some of them could turn to be imams and pastors, while some will be armed robbers.

“Even somebody that has that kind of criminal intention or he is very vindictive or who by nature does not care if people are dying, even if half of his countrymen and women die for him to be a President, he will celebrate it.

“But for me, God did not create me that way and I cannot fit in. I believe that for us to hold any office that we want to, we must have a nation,” he added.

Jonathan added that the years he had spent in office had given him an experience that no school could give.

He reinstated his position that once he leaves office, he would dedicate the remaining part of his life to issues that will bring unity and peace to the country.

He urged Nigerians to commit themselves to the strengthening of those things that can unite the country rather than things that can further divide it.

Jonathan dont mind those empty chest beating cowards calling themselves 'Biafran warriors'(embarrassing the word 'warrior'). They are terrorists that are after their pockets. One wonders why their leaders are not agitating for this same Biafra but are seen romancing themselves with the incoming government. Set of confused and demented souls that does not want the progress of Nigeria.

Well, Mr President, I agree with you that we should work together to remain a nation, and part of remaining together as a nation is making sure that those who embezzle and misuse public funds are brought to justice, they should also be happy to pay for their actions while holding public office.

Isn't that the spirit of justice and fairness?

Sensible man. Unlike that cow.

But you can be a party to cluelessness. 2days 2go. Just leave our sight.

one way okada ticket back to otu-eke .

bye bye goodluck repent from your sins ,chukwu abiama has forgiven you my clueless .

Those ethnic bigots who hid behind the South-South and Jonathan's ambition to wish evil upon Nigeria must be reeling in sorrow and shame now

These charlatans turned themselves into Niger Delta activists overnight( though they are from a different ethnic tribe) while masking their evil intentions.....They applauded every threats of Asari Dokubo against the Nigerian state. They urged on FFK and Fayose in their diatribes and hate campaign against the North and Gen Buhari not because they like both disgraceful individuals but for the secessionist agenda they harbour to the effect that the aftermath of the elections will hasten the Nations disintegration

But to their eternal shame and damnation,Jonathan having being shown the extent of his failed tenure and corruption quickly beat a retreat and turned an apostle of peace overnight in 'exchange' for a soft landing in the international community leaving the ultimatum issuers dazed and cowed

Okay jonah

Our surest president has spoken

Yea..the cow that led its men to slaughter and ran away.

I so much dislike that cow even though its manhood still lives on...

Very well said. I hope they listen, and stop their mission which will eventually end up in futility if they decide to continue.

The last thing we need now as a nation, is unnecessary distractions.

He says one thing in front of the press and does the exact opposite behind cameras. Jonathan has been giving a tacit approval to those who are hell bent on ripping apart the sovereignty and national security of this nation.

He can't say he's not aware of those broadcasts.

He still imagines that Nigerians are fools.

You are so on point

He did all those with the mindset of scaring people to vote him willy-nilly but it backfired most resoundingly

Jonathan is a very despicable and loathsome the man. i have never been taken in by his Catholitic mien as i have come to see him as a serpent who hides under the cloak of pseudo-humility to unleash the most horrendous wickedness on Nigeria and Nigerians

Good. I doff my hat on this. It is only Children of Anachy that will which to drag Aligbo to untold hardship, sorrow, agony, pain, death and destruction over a hopeless and irrelevant quest for division in a relatively peaceful Nigeria.

What Ndigbo need is development and good governance. Anyone seeking otherwise is chasing shadows.

God bless Aligbo and our beloved country Nigeria.

“I cannot be a party to the disintegration of the country. I am quite pleased with what has happened. We have a country, the country will be more united.

This is the reason the Biafrans have been insulting the man on RB, they were hoping on him to create anarchy by rejecting the poll results, and capitalizing on that to declare a state of Biafra, but Jona no get ball.

Look at Jonathan haters gladly pointing to his comment , the same ones wishing him death yesterday. Make una dey fool unaselves. Jonathan welcome back home, but remember it was never about you. That's what your detractors never understood.

I'm saying this to your ugly faces that Jonathan is a hero

Exactly. Suddenly they started insulting him like hell.

I just pity some helpless folks that have been continually brain washed.

i love jonathan but he guffed up big time that's my take

Sir.
I supported you will all my heart.
But on this note:
You are on your own.

Nigeria was created for us by slave traders.
We want to create a country of our own where we shall have only one law for all.
Where promotion must be by merit and nobody will be butchered in the name of God.

It is only a matter of time.

It's not about him! Any movement for sovereignty has nothing to do with him.

Even GEJ rejected failure (biafra).
ibos are alone on this.
I was telling ibos 2 days ago that no Ijaw man especially Bayelsans will associate with biafra (failure)

Actually, his losing helped.
