President Jonathan speaking at a national breakfast meeting which was held at the banquet hall of the presidential villa, called on God to help change the nation for good.
President Goodluck Jonathan expressed hope that his government will not fail but rather the nation will change for good during his administration.
The president said he and his team may not have been the best hands for the job, but that God knows why he put them at the helm of affairs in Nigeria, pledging to do his best in the transformation of the country.
"I always make my supplications to God that in selecting me as the President of this country, the Vice President, the Governors, members of the national assembly, the ministers, we are not the best material but God knows why he choose us and we pray He should use us to change this country.
"We believe that with God using us collectively we will be able to transform this country. We all as Nigerians we want a better country, we want a country that there would be peace, power, that will take care of our health needs, that we can move freely from one part of the country to the other, that our children will have hope. And God sometimes use most impossible cause to solve human," he said.
President Jonathan also said that as daunting as the challenges facing Nigeria may appear, he trusts in the efficacy of the Bible truth that the prayer of the righteous avails much adding that Nigeria will emerge from this, a stronger nation.
"With unwavering faith in God and renewed recommittment to the national course by us all, I'm confident that Nigeria will emerge from these trying times a stronger, more united, more stable and more prosperous nation.
"Now than ever before our nation's leadership needs to rededicate itself to the realisation of the grand vision of one big strong multi ethnic, multi cultural, diverse but united nation which steered our founding fathers. We must live above that primordial tendencies which can only compromise our growth as nation. We should be guided by the ideals of justice, equity, selflessness and above all the fear of God in every conduct public or private," he said.
