Ex-president Jonathan preaches forgiveness

Former Nigeria President, Goodluck Jonathan, has insisted that he bears no grudges against anyone over past actions against him.

Jonathan said forgiveness and reconciliation are important to achieve political stability, national cohesion and development.

He spoke during a requiem mass in honour of Chief Audu Ogbeh in Abuja on Wednesday.

Jonathan described Ogbeh as a man of humility and forgiveness, whose attitude to life mirrored his own.

“Chief Ogbeh was a man who did not seek revenge. He believed the past should be left behind and that we must keep moving forward.

“In that sense, he was just like me. If you hurt me today, I will forgive you. I don’t carry grudges against anybody. I believe the past is past, and I move on,” Jonathan said.
