Goodluck Jonathan Reveals Reasons for Leaving Politics, Emphasizes Non-Partisanship

Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan disclosed the reasons for his political silence, citing strict conditions from the West African Elder Forum. Speaking in Abuja during the 10th anniversary of the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation, he stressed the need for non-partisanship and early intervention in elections to prevent crises.

Jonathan urged politicians to uphold discipline and proper conduct, reflecting on recent schoolgirl abductions in Kebbi State and the Chibok kidnapping. He also mentioned the foundation's focus on democracy, governance, and promoting dialogue across Africa, with businessman Tony Elumelu's advice shaping their mission.
