The immediate
past Nigeria president, Goodluck ebele jonathan, yesterday at Gbaramatu Kingdom
in Delta State, said it is unsafe to talk about events and situation of things
in Nigeria now.
The former
president has also been reluctant to comment on some of the corruption
allegations against him, his aides, ministers and some of his party men.
Nigeria's
President, Mohammadu Buhari has been harsh in his fight against corruption, and
has had most of Jonathan's men quizzed by the anti-graft agencies. It is
expected that Jonathan will offer some explanation to dispel the heavy charge
of corruption against him and his government. But the ex-President in pleading
his constraints, said so much by saying nothing.
Jonathan who
was a special guest of honour at the presentation of staff of office to the
26th Pere of Gbaramatu Kingdom, HRM Oboro Gbaraun II Aketekpe, Agadagba, said
the country is passing through serious challenges and that making comments now
about it is not the best thing to do.
He said
Gbaramatu has been so associated with violence and militancy that most people
would not believe that such a ceremony would be held peacefully in the kingdom.
Jonathan said Nigeria is a country of resilient people and that the challenges
facing the country would soon be over.
The former
President lauded the Pere of Gbaramatu and urged the monarch to use his
traditional stool to enthrone peace in the kingdom.
