2015: Jonathan Speaks As Shagari’s Son Apologises

Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday said he had no grouse with Aminu Shehu Shagari, a son of former President Shehu Shagari after he came out publicly to apologise to him for opposing him in the 2015 Presidential Election.

President Jonathan on his facebook page late on Monday morning said he did not keep it as a grudge that the former three-term member of the House of Representatives worked against him.

Alhaji Aminu Shehu Shagari while apologizing to President Jonathan also charged President Muhammadu Buhari who he backed in 22015 to also apologise to Dr. Jonathan and his father, President Shehu Shagari for allegedly imputing wrong things about the two former presidents.

He said, “Let me use this opportunity to tender a public apology to former President Jonathan and seek forgiveness because I helped to divide the Peoples Democratic Party and bring down his government, but, I have found out that what we thought about his stewardship was not entirely true.

He particularly noted that if there was any area that he did not expect the Buhari administration not to fail, he said that it was in the area of insecurity.

“I expect President Buhari to also ask for forgiveness having found out that most of the things he accused my dad’s and President Jonathan’s administrations of are not true.”

Responding, Dr. Jonathan in a posting on his facebook page said:

“Dear Honourable Aminu Shagari, Thank you for your apology. However, I never took offence. My firm belief is that I am a pencil in the Hand of God.

“Therefore, I have no enemies to fight, because of my confidence that people can only do to me what God permits. I urge you to continue to emulate the humility of your father, the late President Shehu Shagari, a most detribalised Nigerian. May God bless you. GEJ.”
