I Was Inspired To Lead By Conscience – Goodluck Jonathan

Former President, Goodluck Jonathan says
he had to obey the will of Nigerians by
way of avoiding anything that will
demand bloodshed during his 2015
Presidential election defeat.



It will be recall that the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) Presidential flagbearer lost to
the current All Progressive Congress (APC)
President Muhammadu Buhari, of which
he conceded defeat without pressure.



The former Bayelsea State Governor noted
that his basic principles and philosophies
was the brain behind his acceptance of
the results.



“I can confidently say that in all my public
life, I was inspired to lead by conscience.
This is in
agreement with my personal philosophy
which I first proclaimed while running for
the office of the Governor of my home
state Bayelsa in 2006,and re-echoed when I ran for the office of
the President of Nigeria in 2011 and
2015.



“Then, I made it clear that my political
ambition is not worth the blood of
anybody.



Ever since I said that in
November of 2006 in Yenagoa, capital of
Bayelsa State, I have always lived by it. This
philosophy informed my 12 decision to
concede the 2015 Presidential election,
even while the results were still being
collated.”
