According to Vanguard, President Goodluck
Jonathan, Sunday, expressed fears that his wife
might divorce him because of his decision to
allow the just concluded election go on to its
logical conclusion without interference.
Still speaking at the thanksgiving and farewell
service in his honour at the Cathedral Church
of the Advent Life-Camp, Gwarinpa, Abuja,
President Jonathan cited the case of the former
South African Apartheid leader, F.W de Klerk
whose wife divorced him for ending minority
rule in South Africa.
He said:
“I believe there are reasons for everything.
Some hard decisions have their own cost. Some
people come to me and say this or that person,
is he not your friend? Is it not your
government that this person benefited from? But
this is what the person is saying.
But I used to say, worse statements will come.
If you take certain decisions, you should
know that those close to you will even abandon
you at some point. And I tell them that more of
my so-called friends will disappear
When F.W de Klerk took the decision to abolish
minority rule in RSA, even his wife divorced
him. I hope my wife will not divorce me. But
that is the only decision that has made RSA to
still remain a global player. If we still had
minority rule there, by this time, nobody will
be talking about RSA.
If you take certain decisions, it might be good
for the generality of the people but it might
affect people differently. So for ministers and
aides who served with me, I sympathize with
them, they will be persecuted. And they must be
ready for that persecution” he said.
