Former president, Goodluck Jonathan has advised Bola Tinubu, to encourage a democracy where all citizens are given free will to express themselves without fear.
He made the call on Tuesday at a one-day symposium to mark the Twenty-five years of unbroken democracy in Nigeria, held at the Banquet Hall of the State House Abuja.
In his words, “Together, let us build a Nigeria where every citizen has a voice, where opportunities abound, where the promise of a better tomorrow is not just a dream.
“We must not hand over to our children a democracy built on politics of region or religion”, he said.

He further explained Tinubu has the responsibility of ensuring that the next 25 years of democracy in Nigeria, starts on a good note.
“One key thing also is that, for the next twenty-five years, you will need to build a democracy that will reduce friction.
“A situation where children of political officeholders are seen spraying dollars at parties, is not the democracy Nigerians want to witness.
“The dividends of democracy should be felt by all Nigerians, regardless of economic status or social class”, he added.
