President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday said only God knows why he is the president of the country.He said this during the 2014 Christmas Carol organised by the Aso Villa Chapel, at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja, stressing that nobody can be in any position without God.
The President said God that gave him and others the opportunity would see them through. While describing himself as the servant of the country, the president  requests Nigerians’ prayers for God to give him the wisdom to do what is right in His sight.According to him, “God knows why we are here. Nobody will place himself in any position without God. So God that gives all of us the opportunity will see us through. “For me, your servant today, I will continue to request for your prayers that God should give me the wisdom to do what is right in His sight”, he said. Similarly, Jonathan prayed that God gives him the grace to do things with His fear, stressing that the country would survive if her leaders begin to do what is right in their own little way.
Speaking at the carol, Jonathan disclosed that he often received contradictory advice and suggestions, most times when he needed to take decisions on national issues. However, he pledged that he would continue to do his best, especially to ensure that any opportunity given to him, he would use it to serve mankind.“Because it is quite challenging for a leader. For every subject that you want to take a decision, you will have multiple suggestions, some contradictory, some to the left, some to the right, some to the centre. But you must take a decision.“It is only God that can guide you to take the rightful decision that will not bring suffering to your people. We will try our best and we will continue to do our best. We promise that any opportunity given to us, we will use it to serve mankind”, the President said.
