People Move On From You When You’re No Longer In Power – GEJ

Ex-President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan has come out to say that it is very hard to find loyal people after leaving power.

He recently revealed this in Bauchi, while inaugurating the 6.25Km Sabon Kaura-Jos by-pass road constructed by the Bauchi state government.

According to him, there are those who will act like they can’t eat without you when you’re in a position of power, but once your tenure is over, they move on from you completely.

He added that it is not so easy to see someone who will remain loyal to an ex president, years after he leaves power.

”There are people who act like they can’t eat without you when you’re in a position of power. But once you’re no longer in that position, they move on and act like you no longer exist.

”It is a very big day for me and you know why? Because it’s not easy for somebody to work with you in Nigeria then after leaving office, that person still continues with that kind of strong fraternal relationship with you.”

”I have been in government for a reasonable time and I’ve served at quite a number of levels starting from deputy governor.”

“Most of my experience is that after leaving office, some people just forget that you even exists.”

”However, Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi is a good brother and I’m quite pleased that he invited me to commission the first major project that he has completed, that’s a big honour.”
