Former President Goodluck Jonathan has said that the tradition of favouritism in leadership positions among families, friends, acquaintances rather than ability and capability to deliver is responsible for Nigeria’s backwardness.
Jonathan said this Tuesday at the Palace of the Emir of Bauchi during a one-day working visit.
