Jonathan is arguably the most widely
criticized in the history of democracy in
Nigeria, especially due to the several
economic challenges being faced at this
time. Regardless of negative comments
about his administration, the president has
said that Nigerians will appreciate the good
works he has done for the country after he
might have left office.
The president said this on Tuesday, when he
received a delegation from Bayelsa State
who paid him a visit as part of the
Christmas celebration.
“The new year is full of challenges.
Everywhere will be hot from the 2nd of
January. I am here by the grace of God and
the will of Nigerians,” Jonathan said.
He continued: “If I don’t do well the shame
will be on you. I will do my best. I don’t
expect praises now. It’s when you leave that
people will begin to compare you with others.
I will do my best to address all the
challenges we are having. I will do my best
so that when I leave the people will compare
what I have done and what others before me
have done.
“The seat belongs to the country and it is
only the country that can decide who
occupies it,” he said.
President Jonathan however enjoined the
people of Bayelsa state to pray for the
country. He promised that he will continue to
do his best for the country.
Governor of Bayelsa state, Seriake Dickson,
while speaking, said the delegation visited
Jonathan to show solidarity with him, as
well as express appreciation to Nigerians for
supporting Jonathan thus far.
“We are here to show solidarity and to let
everybody know that your people in Bayelsa
are with you. It is in the spirit of Christmas
that we are here on behalf of the people of
Bayelsa to wish you, your government and
family compliments of the season and a very
happy, prosperous and victorious 2015,”
Dickson said.
“We bring you prayers and strong message
of solidarity. We are here to thank Nigerians
for their support for your government,” he
added.
