After 16 years of service, I have had enough - President Jonathan Finally Says..

President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday looked back at his
years of service from being the deputy governor of his
home state, Bayelsa, to when he became the country’s
President and said, “I think it is enough.”
Jonathan spoke while receiving residents of the Federal
Capital Territory who were led by Vice President Namadi
Sambo to pay him Easter homage at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja.
The President said he had no doubt that he is the luckiest
Nigerian.
He said, “For me as an individual, this Easter coincides with
the time I am leaving but I always say that I am one of the
luckiest Nigerians. I am yet to see somebody luckier than
me.
“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.
From May 29, 1999 to date; 16 good years. I think it is
enough and I am happy, help me to thank God for that.
“I will continue to thank Nigerians for giving me that
privilege. I became a deputy governor because Bayelsans
voted for me and my governor then. I became a Vice
President because Nigerians voted for Yar’Adua and
myself.
“I continued in 2011 because Nigerians voted for me and
Architect Namadi Sambo. I have to thank all Nigerians.
Wherever I will be, I will remain grateful to this great
country. Today is a glorious day for me.”
Jonathan said Easter, being a period of sacrifice, Nigerians
should be ready to make sacrifice for the survival of the
government irrespective of who is the President at a given
time.
He said even since his days as deputy governor in his home
state, he kept telling people that what he needed from them
was patriotism and not loyalty.
He said nation building depends on sacrifice and patriotism.
He cited the examples of soldiers and policemen who he
said were dying daily in their fight against Boko Haram in
order for others to live. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
