President Jonathan will take on a new role in the larger polity when he becomes an erstwhile President post May 29–a peace ambassador.
“To whom much is given, much is expected. For you to honour me today, you have given me another mandate to work harder to ensure that we as Nigerians continue to live in peace. One thing I have decided I will do after leaving office is to be talking to faithful of all religions: Christians, Muslims and other religions, on the need for Nigerians to live in peace”, the President said today as he received the 2015 Epitome of Peace Award from the Field Superintendent of The Apostolic Church Nigeria, Federal Capital Territory Field, Apostle John Buzu, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He added that: “This is because when there is crisis in any part of the country, nobody can practise his own religion. If there is crisis anywhere, people cannot go to the mosque, they cannot go to the church.
“We need peace in this country, no matter our religious persuasion or belief. That will be one of my main commitments when I leave office: to reduce discrimination in this country based on religious divides or ethnicity. I believe I will have so many apostles that will follow me to do that.”
But he still has a country to run before May 29. The worsening electricity situation and the queues at petrol stations across the country is ample proof that he isn’t auditioning for his new role in a stellar way.
