Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, said politicians, who indulge in vote buying to win elections are like \u201carmed robbers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathan said politics ought to be seen as a \u201cclean business\u201d and the conduct of politicians matters during the elections.<\/p>\n

He stated this on Saturday while speaking with journalists after casting his vote in his home town, Otueke, in Bayelsa State.<\/p>\n

The elder statesman said, \u201cMy wish for Nigeria is for us to conduct a peaceful election.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us who are politicians, our conduct matters a lot and I always tell politicians that yes, you can win the election through unorthodox means or not. Like using violence to win elections or buying votes and so on but when you do that, you are behaving like an armed robber or a con man.<\/p>\n

\u201cArmed robber makes money through robbery, but everybody knows he is an armed robber. A con man makes money through deceiving people, but everybody knows. They are not decent members of society.<\/p>\n

\u201cPoliticians<\/a> are supposed to be decent members of society. So we must conduct our prayers clearly, and very creatively so that our supporters, relatives, and so on will know that politics is a clean business and allow people to vote who they want at any level of elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy plea with the politicians, the security agencies, the INEC workers, is to do their best for the country. The whole world is looking at us.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the performance of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), Jonathan<\/a> described the device as a better development.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re moving backward. We may still have some technical problems. I am not expecting that the BVAS would work perfectly. But it is a significant improvement and that is an attempt to improve on the methodology.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only thing I request from INEC is that in terms of distributing materials, they should improve on that. It appears that they are using the same method to distribute materials,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
