Nigeria needs to move on now that elections are over – Jonathan

According to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria needs to advance.

After visiting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to congratulate him on his Supreme Court triumph, Jonathan made this statement in Abuja. Following the Supreme Court’s ruling on Thursday regarding the appeals filed by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) candidates challenging the ruling of the Presidential Election Tribunal Court (PEPC) that confirmed Tinubu’s victory in the election held on February 25, 2023, Tinubu emerged victorious.

But in response to the Supreme Court’s decision, Jonathan—a representation of democracy and harmony in Africa—thought that the elections were over and urged all political leaders to unite in order to advance the nation.

“The nation must move forward,” he said. Now that the elections are finished, we must proceed. When Prof. Lumumba appeared at one of our programs, he underlined the necessity for Nigeria to lead in Africa. Even though the economy is challenging right now, we still possess leadership qualities.

These are some of the topics we will continue to talk about, and since they are not personal matters, I will also update the president on all of my overseas programs.

“Traditionally, you come home and tell Mr. President if a former president leaves the nation for continental or regional programs, even some national ones. That is the custom, then. When you see me most of the time, it’s because it’s one of the things we have to do to advance Nigeria, ECOWAS, and the African continent. All of our political leaders, including the past presidents, must come together.
