Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has urged Nigerians not to despair in the face of impunity, persecution, and maladministration noting that “anything evil cannot last for long.”
He said that it is better to be persecuted for doing the right thing than being associated with despicable conducts and antecedents.
Jonathan stated this at the 2018 new yam festival of the Obi of Obinugwu and Chairman, Igbo Traditional Rulers Forum, Eze (Dr) Cletus Ilomuanya in Orlu Council Area of Imo State, Tuesday.
The former president urged Nigerians to appreciate and always endorse goodness and character above parochial momentary interests.
“We must appreciate goodness even when threatened with persecution because evil doesn’t last for long. A leader must be prepared to face a lot of challenges at some point in life, which is what leadership often entails.”
