Jonathan Warns Against Defections: Former President Goodluck Jonathan has warned that attempts to establish a one-party system in Nigeria would stifle the country’s political landscape and could lead to disorder and anarchy.
He issued this warning in Abuja during a memorial lecture and tribute held in honour of the late former Federal Commissioner for Information and South-South leader, Chief Edwin Clark, on Wednesday, May 7.
Still on Jonathan Warns Against Defections
Jonathan noted that while Tanzania under Julius Nyerere successfully implemented a one-party system to unify its diverse ethnic groups, it was done through a deliberate and inclusive approach, not through political manipulation. He emphasized that if Nigeria were ever to consider such a system, it must be pursued through due process and not by force or political scheming.
His remarks follow a wave of defections from opposition parties like the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Jonathan also paid tribute to Clark, describing him as a father figure whose legacy is irreplaceable. He commended the late Ijaw leader for his sharp memory, courage, and unwavering stance on his beliefs.
