President Goodluck Jonathan has reiterated his appeal to
politicians and religious leaders to always avoid provocative and inflammatory
statements to ensure violence-free 2015 general elections.
Jonathan, who made the appeal at a workshop on violence-free
2015 election in Abuja, warned that such statements were inimical to the
existence of Nigeria as a geo-political entity.
``We (politicians) make statements that are so provocative
and when you are making these statements the younger ones are listening to you,
your followers who call themselves ‘your fans’ are listening to you.
