The former President made this known on his Facebook Page on Friday, February 3, 2017 when one of his critics apologised for criticising him while he was a sitting President.
The critic, Mohammad Deedee, had written his message some years back saying Jonathan has finished the country's economy.
“Today a dollar is N180 and a pound is N280. Hope you have a family… This is really the transformation agenda. GEJ has finished Nigeria,” Mohammad wrote.

In his respone, the soft spoken ex-President said: “There is no need for forgiveness because you did not commit any sin against me,” the former president said. I never felt offended or held a grudge.”
Continuing, Jonathan wrote: “Please do not feel bad. You did what you did as your patriotic duty. A true leader must appreciate his critics. Sometimes they tell him the truth more than friends. I appreciate you. God bless you Mohammad. GEJ.”
