FORMER President Goodluck Jonathan says the decision on the next set of political office holders should be the prerogative of Nigerians through their votes only.
and not a decision to be made by the judicial system.
Jonathan said after casting his vote in the governorship and state assembly election on Saturday, that such a decision should not be made by the judicial system.
“Any country that the ballot papers cannot select its leaders, that country is doomed,” Jonathan said after he voted alongside his wife, Patience, in Otuoke, in the Ogbia Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
“So, we must form a system where the ballot papers must decide who leads us, either at the level of the president, governors, and at the level of parliamentarians; not the courts. The ballot papers should select the leaders.”
