Follow peace with all men despite provocation ''Jonathan tells suporters

 

President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday urged his supporters across the country to continue to pursue peace regardless of undue provocation that may come their way during electioneering for the next month’s general elections.
The President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, made Jonathan’s position known on his Twitter handle.
He said the President who is the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the February 14 election made the call just as some youths set his campaign bus ablaze in Jos.
Abati further quoted Jonathan as advising all politicians to conduct their campaigns with decorum and civility.
“Let us conduct our electoral campaigns with highest possible decorum and civility towards political opponents,” Abati quoted Jonathan as saying.
He further called on all Nigerians to say no to violence.
“On violent destruction of supporters’ assets, President Jonathan calls on his supporters to pursue peace in the face of undue provocation,” he added.
