A Northern Group, Jonathan Dawo Dawo Network (Network for the return of Jonathan), has said that bringing in former President Goodluck Jonathan to the 2023 presidential race is a national sacrifice.
This was disclosed in a statement by the coordinator of the group, Isa Kaskasara, where he said that Nigeria needs a man with experience in the areas of self-discipline and national life, to navigate us from troubled water.
He described Jonathan as a quintessential leader whose special approach to exercising power and authority has boosted Nigeria’s democracy.
In a statement titled, “Why Jonathan’s candidacy is an option for better Nigeria”, said, “our current situation at best can no longer be trusted in the hands of ill-experienced politicians whose contact and influence radiates within shallow boundaries”, Kaskasara said, “Jonathan is a quintessential statesman whose approach to exercising power and authority had in no small way boosted participatory democracy in Nigeria.
“At this auspicious time of our national life, we need a personality whose understanding of the polity will guarantee right to stability. Nation building thrives on inherent nationalism, self discipline, and policies that identify limitations of state power.
“Managing a secular state like Nigeria is certainly not for the loud mouth, we must recognize the fact that it’s a job for a renowned team player like Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
“We in the north were there for him before, and we are set to mobilise resources to bring him back to continue national sacrifice. In effect, we call on Nigerians to join us in this quest for better Nigeria”, Kaskasara said.
