Former President Jonathan Slams Narrow Selection of Nigerian Leaders

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has lambasted the selection process for Nigerian leaders, describing it as primitive and detrimental to national development. According to THISDAYLIVE, Jonathan spoke out against the practice of choosing leaders based on religion, ethnicity, and other narrow considerations, stating that this approach hinders the country’s progress. ‘Nigeria will continue to struggle with development until it abandons this outdated method of selecting its leaders,’ Jonathan is reported to have said. The former president’s comments come amid ongoing debates about the need for more inclusive and merit-based leadership in Nigeria.

THISDAYLIVE reported that Jonathan made these remarks at a gathering in Abuja, the nation’s capital. The report did not mention whether any other key figures were present during the speech.
