2023 Race: Stop Voting Killers as Leaders – Jonathan Tells Nigerians



By Jerry Jatdul

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has advised Nigerians to avoid voting for people he termed as “killers” into public offices.

Jonathan gave the advise while speaking at the special interdenominational service to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the creation of Akwa Ibom State, on Sunday.

“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 Bayelsa State governor further commended Governor Udom Emmanuel over his developmental strides across the state.
