Former President Goodluck Jonathan has said that he does not hold grudges against people, no matter the situation. Jonathan, who is widely respected for his calm and reconciliatory nature, explained that life is too short to live in bitterness or resentment. According to him, forgiveness and moving on are more important than keeping malice.

He noted that leadership requires a large heart and the ability to let go of past wrongs. Jonathan stressed that holding grudges only weighs people down and prevents progress, both in personal life and in governance. He urged Nigerians to embrace peace, unity, and tolerance as the only way the nation can move forward.

His statement comes as a reminder of his famous 2015 concession speech, where he peacefully handed over power after losing the presidential election, earning him global recognition as a statesman.
