He made the promise while speaking to State House correspondents at the end of the Good Friday Service organised by the Aso Villa Chapel.
The president, however did not say when the appropriate time will be.
He said: “Don’t worry, I will talk to you at the appropriate time.”
The seven short exhortations that accompanied the seven lessons during the service centred on the sacrifice the preachers said Jonathan made to keep the county united.
They likened his decision to concede defeat in the last Saturday’s presidential elections to the sacrifice Jesus Christ made to safe mankind.
All the preachers noted that the bold step taken by the President at the appropriate time was commendable.
They urged him to remain focus because his future is in the hands of God.
“This man (Jonathan) said here that he is the most criticised President and he prophesied that by the time he will be leaving, he will be the most celebrated President. That has come to pass with the way he is being celebrated worldwide for conceding defeat,” one of the clergymen who led intercessory prayers said.
They also congratulated the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress.
The service also featured renditions of special hymns as well as intercessory prayers for the President, for peace and for the country at large.
He was accompanied to the about three-hour service that featured the Seven Words of Christ on the Cross by Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State; and the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christians Pilgrims Commission, Mr. John Kennedy-Okpara.
Others were the Chairman of the Federal Civil Service Commission, Mrs. Joan Ayo; Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria, Mr. Ima Niboro; and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Power, Ambassador Godknows Igali.
