Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday said some persons were out to bring him down, out of frustration with his rising national and international profile.
Jonathan described reports that the Federal Government was probing him based on the allegations of a faceless Niger Delta militant group as false, adding that some misguided characters are hell-bent on pulling him down.
Jonathan said some people who have “scores to settle” with him are feeling frustrated by his rising profile within and outside the country.
This was contained in a statement issued on behalf of the former president by Ikechukwu Eze, his media aide
The statement read in part: “Some misguided characters are hell-bent on pulling down the former president, despite his clear record of diligent service to his country and longstanding commitment to the good of society
“There is no doubt that there exists such people who may have scores to settle with the former President but are now feeling frustrated by the fact that his national and international profile has continued to rise, despite their recourse to muckraking and character assassination.
“Such people will stop at nothing to continue to throw obstacles, albeit futilely, on his path.”
Jealousy is a chronic sickness. Millions of Nigerians are neigher fools nor hypocrites… We know what is going on with all the sentiments, propaganda and manipulations emanating from all angles.
One thing you must be sure of is that, they are nothing but bunches of hypocrites and wayward thief’s, so no matter how strong or powerful they think they are, God is more powerful, so their time will not last..
Those why hate for no just cause will surely fall into their own pit.
I know that GEJ was may not be a perfect human being, but he tried his best while running the affairs of or economically comatosed nation. Many people who have brain disorder must have been to quick to forget our recent past when Nigeria was virtually bankrupt under IBB, Abacha and others who came after them continued the looting mercerizes. Now they are looking for a space goat to hang the bell and slaughter.
All I say is, evil goes back to evil men, all you need to do Mr. President, just ignore those fools but keep your hands clean, so that God’s favor will remain with you for ever.
