The presidential shade-throwing continues as Pres. Jonathan – during a Christmas Day address at Cathedral Church of Advent in Abuja – indirectly tells Former Pres. Obasanjo that he doesn’t own Nigeria. More after the click.
From AllAfrica:
Barely three days after his reply to former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s letter to him, President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday fired yet another ‘shot’. (Context for Giist readers – Obasanjo’s letter to Jonathan on December 2, 2013, as well the latter’s reply raised very weighty issues regarding national security; to which Jonathan replied).
At a Christmas service he attended at the Cathedral Church of the Advent, Life Camp, Abuja, Jonathan declared that Nigeria was not the property of any politicians.
He said, “For us at this time, especially we the politicians who think we own this country, we’ll begin to think about our next election and doing what we ought not to do, making statements we are supposed not to make and writing letters we are not supposed to write.
“I call on the clergymen and statesmen who really own this country, because this country belongs to our statesmen, the traditional rulers, our religious leaders and men and women and youths.
Nigeria doesn’t belong to any politician or group of politicians. So, we will continue to urge you to continue to pray for this country.”
What do you think of Pres. Jonathan’s comments?
