Don’t Kill People You Want To Lead; Jonathan to Politicians

Ahead of this Saturday’s governorship and state assembly elections, former President Goodluck Jonathan has admonished politicians against do-or-die politics, saying those who aspire to rule should not force themselves on the people.

Jonathan gave the admonition on Thursday at Sampou community in Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area of Bayelsa State shortly after paying a condolence visit to Governor Douye Diri who lost his father, Pa Abraham Diri.

Jonathan noted that in a democracy, the people played a critical role and wondered why those who aspire to lead want to force themselves on the people.

He also advised people of the state to conduct themselves in a peaceful manner during the election.
