I'll Join Gowon And Shonekan After May 29 says Jonathan

Nigeria's president Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday asked leaders in Nigeria to make the sacrifice for Nigeria to move forward.

He said “I always say leadership is not all about giving directives; a successful leader must be ready to make sacrifice. Everything about human life as an individual, requires sacrifice. If you don’t make the required sacrifice you can’t go to where you want to go.

“If you don’t sacrifice your pleasure, of course, you will know where you will end. As parents, we know the kind of sacrifice we make for our children to go to school and to feed.

“To build a family, you need sacrifice. For those who have the privileges of leading at local, state and national levels, at all times we should be ready to make sacrifice for our nation to grow.

“As we call for prayers, we also call on our leaders not just local government chairmen, governors and president alone. I am calling on leaders at other levels, including ministers, that they must make the required sacrifice.

“All of us in leadership position must be ready to make sacrifice and with our prayers and with our commitment, Nigeria will surely get to where it wants to go.”

“I have to thank Nigerians for the support for me within this period. I will continue to do my best as I am gradually joining Gowon and Shonekan to serve our country in a different capacity.

“I must commend Gowon, Shonekan and some of our other leaders. For the eight years I have been as Vice President and President, whenever we called upon them, wherever they are in this world, they will try to come."
