Former President Goodluck Jonathan has described as speculative, his rumoured interest to contest the 2023 presidential election, pledging to continue to serve God, humanity, Africa and the world to the best of his ability and with all sense of commitment and sincerity.
He decried the incessant kidnapping of school children and many Nigerians for ransom by bandits. Jonathan, who was disturbed by the increasing rate of insecurity, called for synergy among President Muhammadu Buhari, state governors, security chiefs and other stakeholders to de-escalate the tension occasioned by the challenge of insecurity in the country.
The former President made the call when he led a delegation of politicians from Bayelsa State on a condolence visit to Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa at Government House, Asaba, over the death of his father, Sir Okorie Okowa.
