Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday said Nigeria needs stronger institution as he played host to the stakeholders of the Peoples' Democratic Party in his Abuja residence.
He said he was happy that the party is set to regain the presidency in 2019 and there is no denying the fact that the PDP remains the strongest political party in Nigeria adding that losing the 2015 presidential election is something that is temporary.
His words:
“Yes we lost the presidential election but that doesn’t diminish us. Every other party still knows that PDP is a leading party,” he said.
“Losing the presidency is something temporary. We should be able to get that position back as long as we are able to get our acts together.
“I am happy that you people are working towards that.”
He said he had the strong belief that for a nation to grow, its institutions must be very strong.
Making reference to the court’s rejection of President Donald Trump’s executive order, Jonathan said such a measure is needed in Nigeria at the moment.
“There is no way a nation will grow with weak institutions, because everything about politics is about the people, not about the individuals,” he said.
“As long you are interested in the people, you are interested in the growth of the society and the development of the nation.
“The only thing that will make this possible is that the institutions must be strong.
“As powerful as America is, President Donald Trump took a decision and the court said `No you can’t do this’ and of course, they have to shut down the decision to move forward.
“That is the strength of an institution. That is the only way individuals could be regulated so that you can grow.”
