President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday re-echoed
his earlier advice to politicians to avoid sowing the seed
of discord and hatred through their utterances ahead of
the 2015 general elections.
He also reminded opposition politicians that Nigeria
does not belong to anyone and cannot be considered
anybody’s personal estate.
Speaking at a special Christmas service at St. Mathew’s
Anglican Church in Maitama, Abuja, the president
reminded politicians of the need to base their
campaigns strictly on developmental issues and nothing
more.
The president said he was always embarrassed by
divisive utterances made by some politicians, noting
that those involved in such do not mean well for the
country.
“As a politician, you want people to elect you to
perform your responsibilities. If you mean well for the
country, you wouldn’t be fanning the embers of discord
and hatred.
“Nigeria is nobody’s personal estate, but you want to
serve. If the people want you to serve, you serve. But if
they say no, then leave.
“So, I get embarrassed when we the politicians make
provocative statements, statements that create division
among Nigerians and that can set this country ablaze,”
he said.
He said further, “I don’t think that is what a leader
should do; it is not the kind of seed a leader should sow
“Those who take government by violence hardly end
well; examples abound in some African countries.
“So, if a politician is interested in power at any level,
you don’t sow seed of discord and enmity because it
will consume you if you try to.”
Mr. Jonathan thanked religious leaders and followers for
their continued prayers for peace and unity for the
country especially during this period.
