Goodluck Jonathan has condemned the deterioration of political discourse in Nigeria, asserting that democratic governance demands civility rather than confrontational behavior. The former president delivered these remarks during a dual celebration marking his 68th birthday and the tenth anniversary of his foundation.
Jonathan emphasized that effective leadership centers on constructive nation-building and measured conduct from political figures. He expressed alarm over escalating hostility in public debate, which he believes undermines institutional strength across Africa. The foundation he established has concentrated on mediation efforts, governance enhancement and electoral system reinforcement throughout the decade.
The former head of state also addressed Nigeria's security crisis, calling on officials to prioritize citizen protection amid rising kidnappings and violent incidents. His audience comprised African leaders, diplomats and commercial representatives.
