Buhari’s victory sets me free -GEJ
Many Nigerians may not know it, but for the last 16 years, President Goodluck Jonathan has been in a cage being taken care of by government, and there is nothing he prefers more right now, than to just go home and rest.
The president bared his mind on Sunday when the Christian community in Abuja paid him the traditional Easter homage.
He described himself as one of the luckiest Nigerians today, because Nigerians had given him the opportunity to serve the country in the last 16 years at different levels of leadership, noting that he remained grateful to God and the people of the country for providing him with such privilege.
He said, “I was in the hands of governments for 16 years, not in government as a parliamentarian, because if you are in the National Assembly or state House of Assembly, you take care of yourself in your house. I was in a cage being taken care of by the government. But I think it is enough and I am happy. Help me thank God for that.”
