Abuja, Nigeria – Former President Goodluck Jonathan has urged President Bola Tinubu to build a democracy that promotes freedom of expression and reduces conflict.
Speaking at a symposium marking 25 years of unbroken democracy in Nigeria, Jonathan emphasized the need for a more inclusive political system.
Jonathan highlighted the importance of addressing factors that lead to “do or die” politics and reducing election-related litigations.
He encouraged the political class to lead by example and ensure that democracy’s dividends are felt by all Nigerians, regardless of economic status.
The former president expressed hope that President Tinubu, with his experience in the June 12 crisis, can navigate this process and build a more inclusive democracy.
Jonathan’s call for a more inclusive democracy has been seen as a significant step towards promoting peace and stability in Nigeria.
