be ready to sacrifice in order to guarantee and great and prosperous
nation.
Speaking at the Presidential Villa when he was paid the traditional
Easter homage, President Jonathan said the in coming President,
General Muhammadu Buhari can only succeed if Nigerians cooperate with
him and are ready to make sacrifice for the nation.
He said those countries who leaders succeeded achieved such success
because of the sacrifice of its people.
"As a people, as a government what I always believe we should ask is
what sacrifice are you making? Now it is not about supporting Jonathan
or government, now Buhari is coming on board, it is not about
supporting Burhari or his government but what sacrifice as an
individual are you willing to make for government and for the nation?
"Nation building depends on the sacrifice of individuals and the
patriotism of the citizens. These are two key elements, we must be
ready to sacrifice for our nation.
"If you are a businessman and you say you are supporting government
but you don't pay tax, how do you expect that government to survive?
That government will not survive.
"To me whenever I travel to different countries and see things work,
those things didn't fall down as manna people made sacrifice,
therefore in Nigeria people must also be ready to make the required
sacrifice. Whoever becomes president is immaterial so long as the
citizens are happy. Our children go to school, when we are sick they
go to good hospital and of course the economy blossoms" he said.
