2023: 'Don’t vote for killers' - Jonathan warns Nigerians

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has urged Nigerians not to make the mistake of voting those he described as killers into elective positions, Channels TV reported.

The statesman made the comment on Sunday September 25, in Uyo during a special interdenominational service to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the creation of Akwa Ibom State.

Jonathan said: “In 2023, you must not make the mistake to vote killers.

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.”

He also hailed the impact Governor Udom Emmanuel has had on the state in the areas of infrastructure in the South-South state.

He recalled that when the ex-governor, Godswill Akpabio was leaving office, there was uncertainty over the performance of Emmanuel who was the Secretary to the State Government at the time.

Although Emmanuel veered into politics from the private sector, Jonathan maintained that Emmanuel has done well within seven years in office.
