He stated this on Thursday in Abuja at the unveiling of a book titled, “On a Platter of Gold: How Jonathan won and lost Nigeria,“ written by the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Mallam Bolaji Abudullahi.
Saraki, who was the chief host on the occasion, said “a country produces the kind of leadership it gets.’’ “I think it is us Nigerians, that produce the kind of leaders we get; no matter what you say about Jonathan, I don’t think he was someone who was desperate for power,“ he said. He added that Jonathan was not someone that was prepared for leadership but became the President of the country either by “misfortune or fortune.“ Saraki added that it was unfortunate that Nigerians knew the right things to do, but would not do it but would keep playing the blame game.
