According to former President Goodluck Jonathan, politics shouldn’t be used like a playground for disruptive behavior.

Jonathan made this statement on Thursday at the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation’s tenth anniversary dinner, which also served as a commemoration of his 68th birthday.

He said that leadership must be based on accountability, nation-building, and moderation, warning that careless political behavior is suffocating Nigeria’s democracy.

He contends that civility and a sincere feeling of accountability from all political actors are necessary to maintain democratic stability.

According to ZINGTIE, a remarkable array of African statesmen, diplomats, political officials, and businesspeople attended the event.

“Politics is not for rascals. It is for people who want to build, not destroy,” Jonathan warned that the growing wave of hostile political behavior and strong rhetoric is undermining democratic resilience throughout the continent.

He considered the event that led to the establishment of his organization, pointing out that throughout the last ten years, its efforts have been concentrated on peacebuilding, diplomacy, governance reforms, mediation, and the bolstering of democratic institutions.

Jonathan also bemoaned the recent wave of violent attacks and kidnappings that have occurred around the nation, calling on all levels of government to take their duty to the people more seriously and protect lives while preserving the country’s democratic order.
