President Goodluck Jonathan has again emphasised that Nigerians must be ready to sacrifice in order to guarantee and great and prosperous nation.
Speaking at the Presidential Villa when he was paid the traditional Easter homage, President Jonathan said the in coming President, General Muhammadu Buhari can only succeed if Nigerians cooperate with him and are ready to make sacrifice for the nation.
He said those countries who leaders succeeded achieved such success because of the sacrifice of its people.
“As a people, as a government what I always believe we should ask is what sacrifice are you making? Now it is not about supporting Jonathan or government, now Buhari is coming on board, it is not about supporting Burhari or his government but what sacrifice as an individual are you willing to make for government and for the nation?
“Nation building depends on the sacrifice of individuals and the patriotism of the citizens. These are two key elements, we must be ready to sacrifice for our nation.
“If you are a businessman and you say you are supporting government but you don’t pay tax, how do you expect that government to survive? That government will not survive.
“To me whenever I travel to different countries and see things work, those things didn’t fall down as manna people made sacrifice, therefore in Nigeria people must also be ready to make the required sacrifice. Whoever becomes president is immaterial so long as the citizens are happy. Our children go to school, when we are sick they go to good hospital and of course the economy blossoms” he said.
