Jonathan's Legacy of Change By Reno Omokri

 

I said it yesterday and I will say it again, President Jonathan is my hero..:-). Article by Reno Omokri.

Let me first use this opportunity to congratulate the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari. Congratulations on your hard won victory which is a testimony to your resilience. You give a new meaning to the lyrics of a song by the late US R & B singer, Aaliyah Dana Haughton, who sang 'if at first you don't succeed, pick yourself up and try again'.

Having said that, let me say this loudly: I believe in the leadership of President Jonathan. I am proud of him.  Much as it may be hard for some to conceive of now, I am certain that in the not too distant future, many will find themselves saying about President Jonathan that never in the history of Nigeria has so much being owed to one leader in so short a time as President Jonathan. Of course, I am paraphrasing Sir Winston Churchill.

After the child was born, doctors confirmed she had anophthalmia, a birth defect which affects just one in 10,000 babies.
