Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, has said
that no president “can do magic” if there is so much tension in the land.
Jonathan
also said one of the major challenges bedevilling Nigeria was threats by terror
groups and other allied bodies.
Speaking at
his Abuja residence when the PDP Former Ministers’ Forum paid him Eid-el-Fitr
visit, Jonathan said what improved the economy was confidence and what made
investors to have confidence was peace.
“No
president can do magic if there is so much tension in the land because
immediately there is a sense of insecurity in any country, investors go back,
and when investors go back, of course, your economy will doom.
“Nobody
wants to go and invest where you are not too sure of the security of your workers,
facilities and so on. We should all pray and work towards peace; that is the
only way as a nation we can grow our economy,” he said.
The former
president congratulated Muslim brothers and sisters on the occasion of the
Eid-el-Fitr, saying the period was a challenging one.
