Read Femi Fani-Kayode's birthday message to GEJ below...
Happy 59th birthday to President Goodluck Jonathan, a man of honor and
peace and one that has brought so much joy and hope to millions.
You have proved to the world that African leaders can be competent,
kind, gentle, humane and selfless.
You have everything to be proud of and much still lies ahead for you in
the affairs of our nation.
You are the light amidst the darkness: a man that was prepared to let go
of power whilst others crave for it, abuse it and are obsessed with it.
Had it not been for that single and historic decision that you made to
conceede the election last year and congratulate your opponent, Nigeria
would have been plunged into a cauldron of fire and the greatest and
most bloody civil war that the world has ever known.
You let go not because you lost but because you wanted to deny those
that have been afflicted with an insatiable blood lust and that take
delight in carnage and violence the opportunity to unleash hell on
Nigeria and slaughter millions of innocent souls.
Instead of thanking you, those same forces have repaid your good with
evil.
Yet God will judge them at the appointed time and He will reward you for
your love, warmth, kindness, gentle nature and selflessness.
Nigeria, nay Africa and indeed the entire world, will never forget you
and though we are suffering the most barbaric and relentless form of
persecution today, those of us that lined up behind you during the
struggle for power last year are still very proud of you.
Congratulations and many happy returns to you Mr. President. Keep
shining and keep smiling because despite all we see today the future is
still great and bright.
For you it is not yet over. Have a great day.
