Goodluck Jonathan Urges Ethical Conduct in Politics
Former President Goodluck Jonathan delivered a warning to politicians regarding the importance of adhering to the rules of politics during a public lecture held to celebrate the 80th birthday of former Attorney-General of the Federation Kanu Agabi. Jonathan criticized the practice of rigging elections, asserting that electoral contests must be conducted according to established rules.
He stated that the pursuit of victory should not justify misconduct, likening politics to a soccer match where rules must be followed. He expressed concern over the negative behaviors exhibited by politicians, labeling them as "stupid" and "criminal." Furthermore, Jonathan emphasized that the fight against corruption in Nigeria requires more than just laws and enforcement agencies; it necessitates the cultivation of a society that values ethical conduct and rejects wrongdoing.
