The former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has said that Nigerians don’t appreciate good leaders until they leave office, noting that former President Goodluck Jonathan left enviable legacies behind.
The ex-national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) confessed that he fought former President Jonathan out of office due to their differences in political interests.
He stated this at the one-year memorial lecture in honor of the late Captain Hosa Okunbo, in Abuja today.
Oshiomhole said: “You (Jonathan) left legacies even though I had cause to fight because it is politics. The legacy you have left, no successor can afford to do less.
“But the logic of multi-party democracy is that even an angel can be defeated. You have set a standard that none of your successors can afford to go below.
“Part of your (Jonathan) legacies was when you launched the almajiri school and your thought was that no Nigerian child should be left on the street and also appropriated special funds.
“These ideas are not new but what we lack is the will to transform them into practice. We never know who are our friends until when we are no more.
“No one is appreciated until he or she leaves office,” he said.
