Elect a Servant-leader, Jonathan Urges Youths

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has asked Nigerian youths to elect a leader who prioritizes service.

Jonathan spoke Thursday during his visit to  Abdulsalami Abubakar, former head of state, at his residence in Minna, the Niger capital.

Jonathan said Nigerians should elect a president who won’t place personal interest over the interest of the general populace.

“We all wish our country well. To every Nigerian, especially the young ones, elections are coming,” he said.

“They have to elect the person they believe would lead us well; the person who will serve us well. A leader is also a servant and as a president, you are to lead and you are to serve.

“Elect somebody that will take the interest of all of us, the interest of the country; somebody that would not compromise our own interest for his own aggrandisement; someone that will carry all of us along, most especially someone that would take Nigeria as a project”, he added.
