2023 elections: Jonathan cautions against do-or-die politics
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has cautioned politicians against do-or-die politics ahead of the governorship and House of Assembly elections on Saturday.
Jonathan gave the admonition on Wednesday at Sampou community in Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area of Bayelsa State shortly after paying a condolence visit to Governor Douye Diri over the demise of his father, Pa Abraham Diri.
The former President stressed that politics should be about service and not selfish interest, urging politicians to wait for God’s time to get into leadership positions.
He said in a democracy, the people play a critical role and wondered why those who aspire to lead want to force themselves on the people.
He also advised people of the state to conduct themselves peacefully during the House of Assembly elections.
Speaking on the late Pa Diri, Jonathan said the death of a parent was painful but urged the departed’s family to take solace in the worthy legacies he left
