No ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian - Jonathan
I am not desperate to serve - Jonathan
Whatever happens today, no matter the direction of the pendulum, we owe
the sustenance of this democracy to this Jonathan. Tolerance and
accommodation are the wings upon which opposition and competitive
government is enthroned. Jonathan introduced this in Nigeria. The
opposition party chanting 'change' couldn't have even conceived the idea
with certain people as President. Like the lamb led to the slaughter,
Jonathan has kept his Christlike mien even in the face of daunting
conspiracies. He has carried his cross like the Son of David, not
minding the gangs who have filed out on his path, hauling insults and
mocking his human nature on the social media. Like a monk he has
committed his strength to unsavory concentration and contemplating on
how to set Nigeria on redemptive course. Without resort to campaign and
adverts to his achievements, he has carried on even to the astonishment
of his party men. It is on record that Jonathan is the moving spirit of
political refinement, never thought of in Nigeria.
Without boosting of his Presidential paraphernalia as the most populous black nation in the world, nor relying on his executive accretions, Jonathan has allowed himself to be mocked on his journey to national transformation. Look at what the power of the President of Nigeria looks like. Upon realizing his powers as the President of Nigeria, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida exclaimed, 'The man in power has the capacity to stir human destiny to any direction'. Again, he told his audience that 'we are not just in power, but also in charge'. These utterances were all put to test in his regime and the results were felt!
Despite the abounding evidence of his strides in development, the Sadducees, Chief Priests and Scribes of this nation have tried this man at an undisclosed Sanhedrin and condemned him to death. I am tempted to assert that, even Jesus got better fair hearing, than Jonathan. Today, as the Peoples' Court rises either in commendation or condemnation of the Son of Otuoke, one thing is certain that Africa's underdevelopment is not a plague from the gods, they are manmade either by external forces or internal orchestration. The overlords who the architects of this macabre dance, if they ever succeed will become the drivers of the 'new government' whose destination is predictable.
