Gatekeepers News reports that Jonathan made the call while addressing to journalists after voting at Otuoke, Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, South-South Nigeria.
The Nigeria former president congratulated Imo, Kogi, and Bayelsa States for conducting a successful and peaceful election.
Jonathan said, “Firstly let me congratulate the three states conducting elections today, Imo, Kogi, and Bayelsa for a successful election.
“But basically because this is an off-season election I get worried and I will use this opportunity to plead with the National Assembly that we need to block this off-season election.
“If we continue with this trend of off-season elections based on the interpretations of our laws by the judiciary, a time will come that the presidential elections will be off-season.
“The off-season election almost occurred in 2007 when I was a running mate to late President Ya’radua.”
