Forgive us for doing certain things we shouldn't have done-President Jonathan

President Jonathan has asked for forgiveness saying no one is perfect.Speaking at the Thanksgiving and Farewell service held at Aso Villa on Sunday, he said 

“Nothing is perfect; if you wait for perfection, you cannot achieve anything. No system is perfect. Every human system has an element of imperfection.So, for the eight years that I have been here as Vice-President, acting President and President, I can say that no one is perfect.We have done certain things that probably we shouldn’t have done, but we didn’t do them deliberately.So, for those that we offended, it was not deliberate; it was as a result of the exigencies of the office.

“We plead that such people should forgive us; I think we have done our best. You may do your own best and your friends and associates may misunderstand you.”

“I believe some of you may even come closer and even do more meaningful things together when we leave office.The office is quite challenging; some of you may desire to see us but I believe that as we move forward, things will get better.I don’t   believe that it is only in government that one can do things; outside it (government), you can do a lot.The richest people in the world don’t even serve in government. (Aliko) Dangote has never been in government, yet he is doing so much.

“Bill Gates too has never been in government, yet he is the richest man in the world. So outside government, a lot of things happen; It is for us to be committed and be focused.
