President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday declared that he is the most criticised President in the whole world because some persons just don't like him.
The president, who said this at the opening of the 52nd Annual General of the Nigerian Bar Association in Abuja, however, vowed to become the most praised before he left office.
He absolved himself of any blame for the country’s problems for which he said he had become an object of criticism. "I am the most criticised President in the whole world," he stressed.
“If Boko Haram is that of poverty in the North, were there farms and Jonathan brought tsunami and drought to destroy them? Within two years – is that possible? But what I can tell Nigerians is, let those talking keep talking, time will tell.”
The keynote speaker at the event, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah of the Sokoto Catholic Diocese, had earlier picked holes in the 1999 Constitution and said the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was the most powerful President in the world.
Bishop Kukah also said a messiah is needed in the country, but he emphasised that the identity of the messiah was still unknown. “There is no President of Nigeria till date that did not come to power by accident.
“This should teach us to be more modest because God always finds a way of bringing somebody who was heading somewhere else – who has no ambition,” he said.
