Former President Begs Nigerians to Protect the Country’s Democracy.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has urged Nigerians to protect the country’s democracy from derailment into some form of oppression because it is the only practical way of effectively managing diversity, and developing sustainably.

Jonathan made the call yesterday during a conference to mark the 70th birthday of the Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Hassan Kukah in Abuja.

Jonathan also spoke about the six-month-old industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU, narrating how his government resolved one of the industrial disputes in one night.
