Former
President Goodluck Jonathan says tension disturbs the progress of a nation.
Speaking in
Abuja on Monday when he played host to a delegation of former Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) ministers, Jonathan called on Nigerians to pray and work
towards the nation’s unity, TheCable reports.
“We should
always use this period to know that the unity of the country is paramount,” he
said.
“We cannot
develop as a nation, no matter how people demonstrate, and no president can do
magic if there is tension in the land.
“This is
because immediately there is a sense of insecurity in any country, investors
will go back and when investors go back, of course, the economy will dwindle.
“What
improves the economy is confidence and what makes investors have confidence is
peace.
“Nobody
wants to invest where there is no peace, except those that invest in arms and
ammunition.
“We should
all pray and work toward that peace, that is the only way we can grow our
economy.”
