ministers and aides to be probed after he leaves office on the 29th of
May 2015, Premium Times reports.
Jonathan made the declaration during the thanksgiving service
organized in his honour, at the Church of Advent, Anglican Church,
Life Camp, Abuja.
He said he believes he lost some of his political allies because
of"certain decisions," he took as regards the just concluded election.
He said:"It (the decisions) might be good for the generality of the
people but it might affect some 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."
"To my ministers, I wish you what I wish myself, They will have hard
times, we will all have hard times. Our ways will be rough".
"Some hard decisions have their own cost, no doubt about that, That I
have ran the government this way that stabilized certain things, the
electoral process and other things that brought stability into this
country. They were very costly decisions which I myself must be ready
to pay for.
"Some people come to me and say this or that person, is he not your
friend that benefited. 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."
According to Vanguard, Jonathan said his decision to concede defeat
did not go down well with some of his ministers and associates, he
noted that the most important thing is that"the ordinary people
appreciate what we did."
On Saturday, while meeting with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
committee set up to assess the party's loss in the recently concluded
elections, Jonathan said he was going to direct all his efforts to
return the PDP to its winning ways by 2019.
