Acting president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo received a rousing welcome when he visited Bayelsa state which is the home state of former president, Goodluck Jonathan.

Osinbajo was in the state as part of his visit to the Niger Delta region to foster peace between the federal government and the region.

The vice president was in the state on Friday, February 10 shortly after he left Rivers state where he was received by Governor Nyesom Wike.

Militants have been terrorising the region in an agitation for resource control although this has reduced since the federal government made moves to carry out the demands from the region.
