Former President Goodluck Jonathan says
tension disturbs the progress of a nation.
Speaking in Abuja on Monday when he played
host to a delegation of former Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) ministers, Jonathan
called on Nigerians to pray and work towards
the nation's unity, TheCable reports.
"We should always use this period to know
that the unity of the country is paramount,"
he said.
"We cannot develop as a nation, no matter
how people demonstrate, and no president
can do magic if there is tension in the land.
"This is because immediately there is a sense
of insecurity in any country, investors will go
back and when investors go back, of course,
the economy will dwindle.
"What improves the economy is confidence
and what makes investors have confidence is
peace.
"Nobody wants to invest where there is no
peace, except those that invest in arms and
ammunition.
"We should all pray and work toward that
peace, that is the only way we can grow our
economy."
