He counseled politicians vying and scrambling for elective positions both at the federal and state level not to be desperate. He stated this at a public launch of a book by Rev. Fr. Charles Imokhai.
Noting that he was not desperate to remain in office, Jonathan said:
“My second message is to all of us, especially those of us who are politicians, that for all of us who want to serve, we should be ready to serve but we should not be desperate to serve our people.
“Sometimes, people ask me that Mr. President, from what we read and what we see, we see you still smiling and unruffled. Yes, nothing will really ruffle me because I am willing and ready to serve but I am not desperate to serve. That is what keeps me going.
“All of us who want to hold offices from the least, a counselor of a ward or a chairman of a council, a member of the state House of Assembly or member of House of Representatives, Senate, Governor or the President, if all of us are always ready and willing to serve our people but we are not desperate in that our mission, then of course Nigeria will be a better place for all of us”.
Noting that that most accounts of his life published so far are not accurate, the president described the story of his life as a humble one.
He said even though the book being launched yesterday provided an account that seems to be close to being accurate, he himself would write and publish the most accurate book after leaving office.
