Gowon also went on to advise the politicians to focus more on policies and not individuals, in the course of their campaign.
“When we complain about people calling us all sort of names, where do you think they get it? They get it from us, either from our magazines, or from our newspapers and some times, some of our public speeches.
“What is important is that let all of us love Nigeria, that you have no doubt about it. Honestly, unless you love and accept your country as a nation, then whatever you do is not worth it and that is what I am going to ask all Nigerians, all political parties to do.”
General Yakubu Dan-Yumma Gowon born 19 October 1934 ruled Nigeria from 1966 – 1975 as the head of state under the military regime.
