Jonathan in London

-

The former Nigerian President Goodluck
Jonathan was seen here at the Hearthrow
Airport in London in the capacity of a private
Nigerian citizen entering the United Kingdom
without those presidential aides around him.
Goodluck Jonathan looked very relaxed and
refreshed in this picture. The pressure of
carrying the Nigeria’s problems on his head
is now gone. But his legacies live on and on
as well as the consequences of his decisions
and choices that he made in office as the
President of Nigeria from 2010 to 2015.
