[pull_quote_center]”My ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian,” – Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.[/pull_quote_center]
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he most selfless statement I have ever heard from a Nigerian politician in my years of existence.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please give it up for the man who transformed the economy of Nigeria to become one of the fastest growing in the world.
The man on whose success, his successor, President Muhammadu Buhari is still riding on high.
The man who rejuvenated the nation’s automobile sector and set the pace for massive industrialization.
The man whose policies made food so abundant that nobody noticed it was yuletide because there was no rise in the price of staple foods.
The man who was accused of corrupt practices, yet his policies is the template for those who accused him.
Sir, as The Trent newspaper celebrate you as Person Of The Year 2015, we you supporters are very grateful to you.
