Former president of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has registered his intention to shift from active political activities to focus on humanitarian services.
He made the revelation during the inauguration of the Bayelsa State Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) executive council on Sunday in Yenagoa.
The former president said, “Don’t be discouraged if you do not see me in most party activities in the state. I decided to appear in this event so that I will not be misunderstood.
I’m shifting away from being an effective partisan politician because of my foundation. People who want to partner me felt that if you are a partisan leader in the country, they will eat with you with a long spoon.
I felt that after serving as president of this country, I should go to some other areas where my services would be required. Through that process, I would be able to support the nation and the state in one way or the other.”
