Goodluck Jonathan, a former president of Nigeria, urged his countrymen not to elect people who were deemed to be murderers.
During a special interdenominational ceremony to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the founding of Akwa Ibom State, Jonathan reportedly delivered the charge on Sunday in Uyo, according to Channels TV.
“In 2023, you must not make the mistake to vote killers,” Jonathan said. Those who will carry knives, guns, and all kinds of gadgets to go and kill people because of politics, are the enemies of society. If you kill to become a leader, you will continue to kill to remain a leader.”
“The people will continue to suffer. Make sure that from the House of Assembly to the House of Representatives to Senate to governor, you vote the right people in Akwa Ibom State.”
The former president praised Udom Emmanuel, the state governor, for his efforts to advance development in the South-South state.
