In his address, Jonathan thanked Nigerians for their support during his administration, begged for forgiveness where he might have gone wrong, while acknowledging that he is not perfect.
“So for the eight (years) that one has been there, definitely one is not perfect. We have certainly done things that probably we wouldn’t have done that way, but we didn’t do things deliberately.
“So for those who we have offended it was not deliberate, it was circumstances of the office. So we also plead that those people should forgive, we think we have done our best,” he said.
