Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, has attributed his political elevation in Nigerian politics to divine intervention.
Naijaonpoint recalls that Jonathan was a deputy governor before becoming a governor, and then Vice-President before becoming President.
Speaking on Friday at a book launch to commemorate the 60th birthday of his former aide, Dr Reuben Abati, Goodluck Jonathan said his political journey in four years was a miracle.
According to him, his journey through Nigeria’s political hierarchy could only have been made possible by God.
In his words, “My political journey looks like a political miracle. From deputy governor to becoming the President of this country in under four years was a miracle. It’s only God that made it possible.”
The former President also expressed gratitude to Abati for writing about part of his political life in one of the books, ‘How Goodluck Jonathan Became President’, hailing his intellect, writing, and analytical skills.
Jonathan added that he is looking forward to reading about himself in the book.
He said, “I always like people who write about me because sometimes it’s so difficult for you to even write about yourself. When people write about you, it makes more meaning.
“I’ll be very interested to read how Goodluck Jonathan became president from back to back.”
