Jonathan Explains Low-key Participation in Politics
Former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, at the weekend gave reasons for his low visibility in political circles in Nigeria.
The foundation, with head office in Yenagoa and a subsidiary office in Abuja, was set up “to serve as a platform to champion and catalyse the positive social and economic progress being experienced across Africa, by focusing on promoting peace and stability, and enterprise development,” two key issues which Jonathan believes can yield far-reaching positive outcomes at scale across the continent.
“Don’t be discouraged if you do not see me in most party activities in the state. I decided to appear in this event so that I will not be misunderstood. According to him, the survival of the party in the state depends on its capacity to effectively manage its affairs. Diri, who noted the forthcoming senatorial bye-elections would be a litmus test for the new council, challenged the leadership to work towards winning the west and central senatorial seats.
While commending Diri on his reconciliatory efforts, he said the move would strengthen the party towards achieving victory in future elections.
