Former President Goodluck Jonathan urged young people on Saturday to reject those who seek to divide the country through ethnic and religious politics ahead of the 2023 elections.
He made the remark while speaking at Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu’s 80th birthday symposium in Owerri.

Jonathan noted that Nigeria’s politics is steeped in ethnicity and religion “to the detriment of our country and our own collective roots. I think we need to reduce this.”
He added: “Collectively, if we work together and accommodate our differences, we can build a nation where everybody would have a sense of belonging. And everyone’s rights would be guaranteed.
“That is the way we must go – a Nigeria where justice and equality reigns.”
