Former President Goodluck Jonathan in a recent gathering in Yenegoa, the capital of Bayelsa State said he believes he is an accidental politician.

Jonathan made the comment at the gala night to wrap up a three-day program of the Unique University of Port Harcourt Class '81 Reunion which ended on Saturday, November 27, 2021.

The statesman who insinuated that he is introvert say politics is meant for extroverts who engage in a lot of conversations and meetings.

A member of the class and host of the reunion, he opined that he is an accidental politician.

While expressing gratitude for the award, Jonathan said, “You know that I don’t know if I am an accidental politician, because I am supposed not to be a politician.

“If you plot a curve from introvert to extrovert and start from zero as the most introvert person and 100 as the most extrovert person, and you plot that continuum, I will be between 35 and 45 on the introvert side.

So, I am an introvert. “An introvert is supposed not to be involved in politics because politics involves much talking and you always want to show your presence. But somehow, God has a way of solving problems.”

Jonathan expressed appreciation to the pioneer graduates of the institution for their support and encouragement, especially while he was in office, adding that he and his wife, Patience, were pleased with the unique get-together.
