L-R: Governor Fayose, Former President Jonathan and Governor Dickson at the Bayelsa PDP primary election.
While commenting after the Governorship primaries in Bayelsa state yesterday, Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has compared Goodluck Jonathan to Jesus Christ, because the way the former president conceded defeat to President Muhammadu Buhari in the last election, is the same way Jesus Christ died to save souls.
Fayose said, "A president took me out of the government house by force and another President gave me leverage and a platform to come back. To whom much is given, much much is expected.
Those of them that left us they should learn a lesson from what is going on. We will remain here when you come back, we will remain in the PDP when they come back.
Your Excellency, the former President of Nigeria, the son of Africa, I don’t want to say the son of Nigeria, my former President, you have done what no African leader has done. You threw in the towel to save Nigeria, you gave us all the relative peace we are enjoying. You remain a man after my heart.
I am a governor that has no apology for supporting you. Everybody must remember that it is a virtue to be courageous to defend the truth. Whether you throw your own virtue away, will not take away our own party. Jonathan is a man to be recognized in the whole world.
Conducting an election that worked against his interest, he gave it all. Jesus Christ did exactly the same to save souls. Keep your fingers crossed. Every battle against you will fall by at your feet. There is a purpose of God for everything, you have done your best, leave the rest to God."
