Jonathan to Nigerians: Don’t vote for killers in 2023

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has enjoined Nigerians to avoid voting for “killers” in the 2023 general election.

Jonathan urged Nigerians not to vote for politicians who would carry knives, guns, and other dangerous weapons to kill people because of politics, describing them as the enemies of society.

He gave the admonition in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital on Sunday while speaking at a special interdenominational service to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the creation of the state.

“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. 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 said.

Jonathan further commended the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, for the various projects executed in the state, saying the governor has performed well within seven years in office.
