Former Prime Minister of Kenya, Raila Odinga on Wednesday described former President Goodluck Jonathan as the renewed hope for democracy in Africa.

Odinga said this at the 2016 Zik lecture series at  the Nnamdi Azikiwe University,Awka, Anambra State.

While speaking on the topic, “The crises of nation states in Africa,” said Jonathan gave credibility to electoral process in Nigeria by conceding defeat in the 2015 election.

He also said the major problems affecting Africa was dictatorship, corruption and ethnicity.

“Before then most African leaders would not concede defeat as an incumbent,” Odinga said.

“Ethnicity is the disease of the elite. They are the people who would always fan the embers of ethnicity and divisive tendencies whenever they lose their selfish interest,” he added.
