JONATHAN MAY BECOME BIGGER OUT OF OFFICE?
icheoku says like many very important personalities in life who became much bigger long after they die, the outgoing President Jonathan might have joined this group of people as he is likely to become much bigger and very much respected out of office. Even Jesus became bigger in death than while alive, ditto MLK etc. Feelers around the world suggest the president will be recommended and rewarded heavily and plentifully for the peaceful manner he conducted himself during the last election, losing and accepting defeat; and without demeaning himself into becoming a sore loser.
In the words of Mo Ibrahim, founder and sponsor of Mo Ibrahim Foundation that rewards African leaders who leave office without much blemish,
”The news from Nigeria today is wonderful. Africa’s largest country has concluded a peaceful election process. Furthermore, the incumbent has already gracefully conceded and congratulated his successor – a first for Nigeria and a benchmark for other African countries to follow. Today, we Africans are all proud of Nigeria and President Jonathan. Thank you Mr President. If you are seeking a legacy, you have definitely achieved it.”
Icheoku says it speaks volume and it is currently resonating throughout the world. Now Baba Iyabo must be madly jealous that the Jonathan he tried to destroy has now outgrown and outshone him globally as the first and only president of Nigeria who successfully transferred power without much rancor and acrimony. In the word of Mo Ibrahim, "it was a first for Nigeria and a benchmark for Africa to follow." Icheoku queries what more is it then to add but to say congratulations to President Goodluck Jonathan for his elevation out of office. Now, he has become a global citizen and even Aso Rock is no longer big enough for his current status. Who needs Aso Rock afterall?
