Former President Jonathan has been honoured by a University alongside an elder statesman, Yakubu Gowon.
Yakubu Gowon and Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has said that nobody, whether within
the country or outside the country, persuaded nor forced him to concede
defeat in the 2015 elections that got President Muhammadu Buhari to
power, according to the Vanguard.
The former President said, instead, his decision to concede was
borne out of his personal principles and convictions that his ambition
is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.
Dr. Jonathan gave the statement in a speech, Saturday, at Bingham
University, Nasarawa state, where he was conferred with honourary
doctorate degree alongside former military Head of state, Yakubu Gowon.
Jonathan also said that his reason for conveying the 2014 National
Conference was to come up with a polity that will bring unity in the
country as well ensure a country devoid of tension and crisis.
"It is my belief that no one’s political ambition is worth the
blood of any Nigerian. And I am fulfilled knowing that my conceding
while the votes were still being compiled, which was born out of my
personal principles and convictions, is generating positive impact in
other nations. Let me make it clear, that I was not persuaded to do so
by anyone within or outside the country.
I know it was the right thing to do. ‘’My mantra “my ambition
is not worth the blood of any Nigerian” is my vow. It was not just a
political slogan. One of the reason I convened the 2014 National
Conference was to come up with a polity devoid of tension and crisis. A
polity that will bring unity to this country. A polity that will not
divide us along tribal, ethnic or religious lines’’ he added.
