Ahead of the February 25 presidential election, former Nigerian President - Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has urged politicians not to seek power at all costs but to eschew hatred and violence and embrace true sportsmanship, during and after the poll.
“To politicians, this is a time to be circumspect in our actions and work towards consolidating our democracy,” the former Nigerian leader said in a statement on Tuesday. “Power is sought and held in trust to be selflessly exercised in the interest of the people and seeking it at all costs negates this ideal and projects politicians in a bad light.
“Let us eschew hatred and violence and display true sportsmanship, during and after the poll.”
