Erstwhile Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode, Sunday, joined millions of Nigerians home and abroad, to
felicitate with former President Goodluck Jonathan on his 59th Birthday,
saying, “Had it not been for that single and historic decision that you made to
concede the election last year and congratulate your opponent, Nigeria would
have been plunged into a cauldron of fire and the greatest and most bloody
civil war that the world has ever known.” Jonathan In a congratulatory messag,
Sunday, Fani-Kayode said: “Happy 59th birthday to President Goodluck Jonathan,
a man of honour and peace and one that has brought so much joy and hope to
millions.
“You have proved to the world that African
leaders can be competent, kind, gentle, humane and selfless. You have
everything to be proud of and much still lies ahead for you in the affairs of
our nation. “You are the light amidst the darkness: a man that was prepared to
let go of power whilst others crave for it, abuse it and are obsessed with it.
Had it not been for that single and historic decision that you made to concede
the election last year and congratulate your opponent, Nigeria would have been
plunged into a cauldron of fire and the greatest and most bloody civil war that
the world has ever known.” “You let go not because you lost but because you
wanted to deny those that have been afflicted with an insatiable blood lust and
that take delight in carnage and violence the opportunity to unleash hell on
Nigeria and slaughter millions of innocent souls. “Instead of thanking you,
those same forces have repaid your good with evil. Yet, God will judge them at
the appointed time and He will reward you for your love, warmth, kindness,
gentle nature and selflessness. “Nigeria, nay Africa and indeed the entire
world, will never forget you and though we are suffering the most barbaric and
relentless form of persecution today, those of us that lined up behind you
during the struggle for power last year are still very proud of you.
“Congratulations and many happy returns to you Mr. President. Keep shining and
keep smiling because despite all we see today the future is still great and
bright. For you it is not yet over. Have a great day.”SOURCE;VANGUARD
