Former President of Nigeria Dr Goodluck Jonathan has sent a consoling message to Donald Trump amidst growing certainty that the American President has lost his bid for re-election.
Trump is fast losing his re-election bid to challenger, Joe Biden and has been making series of allegations that the poll is flawed and being rigged in favour of the democratic candidate.
Reacting to the developments, Jonathan who lost his bid for re-election in 2015 and honourably admitted defeat, took to his Facebook page hours ago to re-iterate that “it is better to gain honour at the cost of losing power, than to gain power at the cost of losing honour.”
According to the former president: “Nobody’s ambition is worth the blood of any citizen. It is better to gain honour at the cost of losing power, than to gain power at the cost of losing honour. At any point in time, the power of love should matter more than the love of power. This is my philosophy.
“I have lived it. It has brought great peace to both my beloved nation and I. And I recommend it to all leaders facing challenging situations, either in government, or at the polls, or even in their dealings with fellow political actors.”
