The ex-President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, has said that his resolution to concede defeat after losing the 2015 presidential election has brought him great honour in various part of the world except Nigeria.
He furthered that he had made a lot of sacrifices for his country and would gladly lay down his life if there was need for it.
He debunked the allegation that he decided to go on exile in Cote d’Ivoire.
I am not in exile. I am here resting. I am in Cote d’Ivoire, I have been here for a week resting and this is my second trip to the country since I stepped down as president,” he was quoted as saying.
“I have no reason to leave Nigeria. I have made sacrifices for Nigeria. I am praised all over Africa for averting bloodshed and for the peaceful transition from one government to another, but it seems Nigeria does not appreciate my efforts.
“I have done my best for this country and if I have to die for it, I will do so. However, I am taking it easy here (Cote d’Ivoire) and when I am ready, I will come back.”
