The Senior Special Adviser to the President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, has nothing but good words to say about his boss, President Goodluck Jonathan.

He said Nigerians misunderstood President Goodluck Jonathan’s calmness for indecisiveness.

Okupe, who stated this on his facebook on Sunday, described Jonathan as the greatest Nigeria’s President.

“In a few days, President Jonathan will bow out of office gracefully and graciously. President Jonathan has done well and served his country well.

“He exits office as a great President, perhaps Nigeria’s greatest President for all times. Greater than the best before him. He excelled in achievement, in humility, tranquillity and simplicity.

“Nigerians misunderstood meekness for weakness, Restraint for lack of strength, reticence for inaction and calmness for indecisiveness,” he said.

Okupe said that the outgoing President would be remembered as a great man, a good man, humble and humane, purposeful and focused.

“A great African hero who fought against all manners of evil and conspiracies, religious, ethnic, national and international, and lost the war. But ultimately triumphed because of the inherent goodness that God Almighty deposited in Him,” he added.

He stated that Jonathan said his ambition was not worth the life of any Nigerian.

“He meant what he said and stood by what he said even to his detriment and millions who believed in him,” Okupe stated.

He urged Nigerians not to weep for Jonathan but “rather weep and pray that our nation will remain, united and stable; that its people will prosper and that God will guide our incoming leaders,” he added.
