Boasting of his unwavering loyalty to the nation, Jonathan voiced his concerns during an interview with Arise TV.

Speaking on why he conceded to former president Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, Jonathan stated, "I was more interested in the country than myself, which I advise the politicians to be more interested in the country than themselves. Without the country, there will be no presidents."
