Former President Goodluck Jonathan says Nigeria must move on after the Supreme Court upheld President Bola Tinubu’s election victory.
The former president said this at a press conference held at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa after meeting Tinubu.
โThere are certain things we discussed so that the country must move forward. Elections are over, we must move forward,โ Jonathan said.
โYes, we have challenges economically now, we still have all it takes to lead. These are some of the issues I will continue to have a conversation with Mr President, including briefing him on all my foreign programmes because they are not personal issues.โ
He said the visit which came hours after the Supreme Court verdict, afforded him the opportunity to congratulate the President over Thursdayโs judgment.
According to him, there is a need to end the tension and move forward together as Africaโs most populous nation.
Jonathan called on all political leaders, including former President to eschew bitterness and work together in harmony for the countryโs overall good.
The former president also said his visit was to inform Tinubu of some of his recent foreign engagements as well as some sundry issues affecting the country.
โTraditionally, if a former president goes outside the country for this continental, regional or international, they come home and tell the President. That is the tradition. Most of the time, when you see me here, it is because of this thing we must do to move Nigeria, ECOWAS, and the African continent forward,โ he added.
