Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, on Sunday, noted that while he was in office he never used his position to punish people.
Jonathan, who was once the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, later governed the state and from there became Vice-President before he emerged president of Nigeria.
The former President while speaking in Benin, during the 50th birthday celebration of Charles Osazuwa, president of the Rock of Ages Christian Assembly, said while in politics, he had a conviction to never cause the death of anyone.
“My belief, particularly when I joined politics is not to use a temporary privilege, a temporary position God has given to me to punish people.”
“Some of the things I did while in office to which people still refer was based on the conviction not to use my position to cause the death of anybody.
“Any position I have occupied by divine providence should not be used to create hardship for other people.”
In a related development, Goodluck Jonathan, has been asked by a group identified as Youths Earnestly Demand For Goodluck E. Jonathan to contest the 2023 presidential election.
The National Chairman of the group, Prince Teddy Omiloli and National Director Operations, Comrade Douye Daniel in a statement on Sunday said the former president will tackle the challenges affecting Nigeria.
