Senator Shehu Sani has praised former President Goodluck Jonathan for not taking advantage of the current security challenges in the country to criticise the Buhari administration, Igbere TV reports.

Mr Jonathan had over the weekend refused to be drawn into any questions about insecurity in the country, saying he was the wrong person to speak on it.

The former president said he had challenges during his tenure, some of which were similar to the present situation.

“I was there before and of course, you know there was a lot of insecurity. So, I am the very wrong person to make comments on the insecurity in the land,” Jonathan had said.

Reacting on Monday via Twitter, Sani commended the former leader for his comments.

“Former President Jonathan did not take advantage of the prevailing violence and bloodshed engulfing our country to embellish his tenure, he reportedly said he is not ‘the best person to speak about insecurity.’

“He exemplified humility and statesmanship in this respect,” Sani wrote.
