Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, has suggested that Nigeria should create two buildings in Abuja to display pictures of individuals who have contributed to the country’s problems.
He argued that such an initiative would ensure their descendants recognise the negative roles their forefathers played in Nigeria’s history.
Speaking at the book launch of former Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, in Abuja on Tuesday, Jonathan criticised Nigerians for tolerating bad behaviour from political leaders.
He insisted that political leaders would act responsibly only when citizens begin to reject misconduct.
“We, Nigerians, celebrate the wrong thing. And I believe one day, the country will get to the level where people will reject bad behaviour. And when we get to the level that we reject bad behaviour, this issue will not happen again,” he said.
“Maybe one day, we will have two big buildings in Abuja where we will put pictures of people — whether dead or alive — who have messed up this country so that their grandchildren will know their forefathers were part of Nigeria’s problems,” he stated.
