In a recent interview on Symfoni TV, former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan called on Nigerians to actively reject poor leadership and demand greater accountability as the country heads toward the 2027 general elections. He stressed the importance of creating a national “Hall of Shame” to expose and memorialize public officials who have failed the nation through poor governance, corruption, or abuse of power.
Jonathan criticized a growing trend in which Nigerians “celebrate the wrong things” and reward bad behavior in politics. He expressed hope that a cultural shift would occur—one in which citizens would no longer tolerate impunity or dishonesty, but instead, uphold integrity and competence in leadership.
The interview also delved into Nigeria’s current political tensions, including the ongoing crisis in Rivers State and the shifting dynamics within opposition parties. Jonathan commented on the roles and reputations of several key political figures, including Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Labour Party leader Peter Obi, activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
As Nigeria approaches another pivotal election cycle, Jonathan’s remarks serve as a powerful call for national reflection and reform, urging citizens to prioritize accountability and good governance over party loyalty and personality politics.
