President Goodluck Jonathan said he gets contradictory advice from his cabinet members when he wants to take decisions on major national issues, vanguard reports.
A statement he made during a speech at the Presidential Christmas carol at the banquet hall of the presidential Villa, president Jonathan said only God knows why he is the president of the country.According to the president, nobody can be in any position without the consent of God.
“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.
“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.”
He prayed that God give him the grace to do things with His fear, saying the country would survive if her leaders begin to do what is right in their own little way.
