2023: Goodluck Jonathan To Nigerians:“We Require A New Country”

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has urged Nigerians to use the 2023 elections to bring forth a new country and overcome the challenges of past years.

In his New Year Message to Nigerians, Jonathan said the ballot serves as the most suitable vehicle for achieving our shared dream of peace, justice, unity, and prosperity.

He asked the citizens put the nation’s interest first in all their conduct this year and pray for its prosperity and progress.

The former president said although the past year came with its challenges, the new year offers the opportunity of starting afresh.

He said: “Last year was, without a doubt, filled with gains and losses. As a country, we experienced a devastating flood that resulted in the death of many lives and the destruction of property and sources of livelihood of millions of citizens.

“As a people, we survived the horror of the flood amid other national challenges, lived with hope unto God and faith in our nation, and triumphed into this New Year.

“This year holds great possibilities for us all. We must harness the opportunities that lie within the length and breadth of our nation.
