Former President, Goodluck
Jonathan has commended the National Assembly for reordering of 2019 general
elections.
The National Assembly had
recently reordered elections through the amendment of the Electoral Act.
Jonathan said the the amendment
of the Electoral Act would help in the election of quality persons into various
positions.
He spoke when he received the
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus
who led members of the National Working Committee, NWC on a courtesy visit to
the headquarters of the Jonathan Foundation in Yenogoa, the Bayelsa state
capital and was contained in a statement by Secondus spokesperson, Ike Abonyi.
The statement quoted Jonathan as
urging the All Progressives Congress, APC, to see the move from a patriotic
angle.
The former President said,
“Holding Presidential Election first will affect the quality of persons that
will emerge in other polls because of the bandwagon effect.
“The ruling party the APC should
see it from national and patriotic interests since laws are not meant for
persons in power at a particular time.
He said he envisage a time in
this country when presidential election will be conducted differently from the
others.
