The elections that saw APC taking over from PDP from Sule Lamido's Jigawa state ought to be a lesson.

Fizzymike1:
Bold step

And very relevant. Skunk isn't s giraffe but an uglier Immigrant from Niger Republic.

Jona don develop swaga and backbone.. this is good.

Abfinest007:
go ahead if you have any evidence

Foul mouth blowing Intruder.

Charmingrascal:
Oga Jona don get liver to ask for evidence after delivering Bayelsa to the next level train.

Welcome on board Oga Jona

U are cleared.

TooMuchStuff:
This is why I said no good democratic leader of Fulani extraction can ever emerged from the Muslim north. They are all trained to Hate any non Hausafulani Muslims that is or was in power

The BuhariApC hate speech bill is raw Sharia law.

Lamido should have known that people are now wiser by the day

He is an Amateur Politician.

stickle:
This rejoinder is meant to kill. Lamido has gotten former president Jonathan angry. The words are carefully used to show him (Lamido), how useless and unsubstantiated his claims are.
But come to think of it, a stateman should always weigh his words before releasing them: it is called wisdom

Very apt. It's Wisdom from above to call a hoe a hoe.

Sirjamo:
What difference can all these make now? The election had been won and lost, everyone should just move on already!!

When he was just Jonathan, L&S didn't know him, but now that he's Shoyinka, skunks are blowing mouth.

festacman:
Sule Lamido's statement has nothing to do with Bayelsa State election. He is merely using the opportunity to get back at Goodluck Jonathan because he believes that his best chance of having a good shot at presidency in 2015 was made impossible by PDP hierarchy's blanket endorsement of Jonathan as unopposed PDP Presidential candidate. As if that is not enough, Jonathan conceded defeat to Buhari without a fight, which made him an unlikely hero while further diminishing Lamido's presidential chances. In as much as he has right to be bitter about lost or diminishing opportunities, making image-damaging accusations against Jonathan is venomously vindictive.

Another Modu Sheriff.

SolarForce:
Kai! I so much love GEJ. Walahi

He is educated Western style, not Almajiris.

Terenike:
Skunk

O Yes. Skunk. Skunk. Skunk.

Terenike:
Skunk

O Yes. Skunk. Skunk. Skunk.

"sulking skunk"

Now that's new

Just shows that they can never understand what democracy is all about. President Jonathan is obviously not in the same school of thought with them.

When Obama campaigned for his first Presidency he clearly distanced himself from the Clinton estate because though Clinton was the defacto elder statesman of the Democratic Party the baggage of his latter time in office was such that it could prove damaging.

When you recognise that democracy is all about the people sometimes you must cut out dead flesh to live. There is no reason why Goodluck would support a Dickson hegemony, or accept his godfatherism when hehimself is not acting to that script.

You just wish all other states could be like this and put aside godfathers and let the will of the people to prevail. Bayelsa will indeed profit from the person, posture and position of Goodluck Jonathan in years to come.

this man should be the first person to be convicted for spreading fake news...

Praktikals:
And you expect me to read this long epistle

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has challenged a former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, or any other persons to publish evidence linking him with the controversial Malabu Oil scam, if they had any, or forever remain silent.


Jonathan was reacting to a report credited to Lamido in a national newspaper in which the former governor accused the ex President of trading off the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 16 governorship election in Bayelsa State.

The APC dislodged the PDP in the state, which has been a stronghold of the PDP since 1999 and Jonathan’s home state.

In an interview granted the newspaper, Lamido was quoted to have said: “The leadership of the APC and the government are blackmailing Jonathan and I think I can say it anywhere that he traded this for his own freedom.”

Lamido had also stated in the said report that, “Jonathan worked against his party because he was very, very angry with (Governor) Dickson. It was because he (Jonathan) sure knows his problem with Buhari and his government. And the issue of Malabu, I think, played a key role”.

But in a lengthy statement on Monday by his media adviser, Ikechukwu Eze, the former President described Lamido as “sulking skunk” to whom logic or reason meant nothing.

Jonathan said, “It didn’t matter to him that, as a well respected member of the society, he shouldn’t make such weighty claims against a former President if he was only guessing, like he admitted.

“We really do not know why Mr. Lamido, chose to speak like he did, especially with such hostility, contempt and lies against former President Jonathan. However, one thing is clear: In his anger and apparent bile-filled disposition, Mr. Lamido, an otherwise astute and erudite politician, obviously dropped the ball by electing not to speak responsibly like a statesman.

“Apparently seized by some inexplicable resentment, Lamido held on to the lie currently being pushed by a few mischief-makers to the effect that former President Jonathan helped the APC to win the last gubernatorial election in Bayelsa State.

“Unfortunately, the former Governor jumped into this convenient bandwagon of grovellers without first thinking of the burden of substantiating his claim. What to do? Orchestrate a raft of incongruent drivel of cheap lies to confuse the readers.

“This absurd claim definitely would have gained more traction in the public space if it really made any sense. But it didn’t. What, if we may ask Mr. Lamido, is the correlation between Jonathan supporting APC because he was angry with Governor Dickson and Jonathan supporting APC to avoid prosecution over Malabu?

“Where was Lamido and his ‘Malabu problem’ when Jonathan campaigned vigorously and helped PDP to win Bayelsa governorship election in 2015, under the same President Buhari?
It is important to establish at this point that Mr. Lamido probably knows very little about the Malabu case, for which he was not supposed to have commented blindly.

“It bears repeating that the documents relating to the transactions and decisions of the Federal Government on the Malabo issue, during the Jonathan administration, are in the relevant Government offices, where they are accessible.

“We would like to point out that all the actions taken by the Jonathan administration in relation to activities in the oil industry were legally conducted by relevant Nigerian Government officials and were carried out in the best interest of the country.

“We call on anyone, including Mr. Sule Lamido, who has any shred of evidence linking former President Jonathan to any wrongdoing in the case of the Malabu incident to waste no time in publishing such evidence or forever remain silent”.

The former President clarified that the Malabu oil block was not given out during his administration, stating that it was a deal that was sealed during the time of the late military Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha.

Stating that it’s not only the Nigerian government that is investigating the Malabu deal, stressing that the investigation has an international dimension to it.

“If that is the case, he (Lamido) should also have known that there are at least three other countries outside Africa that are investigating the matter. Assuming without conceding that the former President Jonathan is culpable as Lamido alleged, would a trade off deal with the Nigerian Government also free him from blame in other countries like Italy, United Kingdom and the United States?

“Mr. Lamido’s awkward intervention in this matter was deliberately designed as a form of blackmail. Having tried many other ways to discredit the former President to no avail, Mr. Lamido is now scheming to project Malabo as Jonathan’s Achilles heel. Here again he has failed because the true story of Malabo is already very well known to Nigerians.

“Mr Lamido, we believe, is too smart not to realise that when the pot conveniently calls the kettle black, it is a grand design to confuse, deceive and cover up the truth.

“Lamido served as Governor of Jigawa State for two terms under the platform of the PDP after which the ruling APC took over his state. Is he then telling Nigerians that he cut a deal with APC, helped the ruling party to procure victory at the polls and take over his state?

“The fact is that it is not only in Bayelsa State that the country had experienced such a situation where PDP or even APC had lost elections to another party. Holding Jonathan responsible for PDP’s loss in Bayelsa without first investigating the issues that determined the fate suffered by the party in the state is not only disingenuous but also detrimental to the image and aspirations of the party”, Jonathan added.

Stating his position on the Malabu oil deal, Jonathan said he did not ask for or collect any bribes over the Malabu deal, neither has he been charged for asking or collecting bribes, and that neither will he ever be charged with asking for or collecting bribes, because such never happened.

Continuing, Jonathan said, “Rather than cast aspersions and throw shades because of pre-existing animosities and prejudices against the former president, what is expected of party leaders like Mr. Lamido is to seek to interrogate whatever went wrong in Bayelsa, to avert a repeat in another state.

“We believe that further interrogation of Lamido’s other weird claims is not necessary in this space, lest it gives the unfortunate interview more attention than it deserves.

“However, we feel that it is important to reiterate, as we have always done, that former President Jonathan did nothing wrong as far as the Malabu deal is concerned. He therefore doesn’t need to cut a deal with anybody within or outside Nigeria.

“The fact remains that as recent national events continue to vindicate former President Jonathan, and as the world continues to celebrate him, those who are insecure will feed such propaganda to their media agents to serve their narrow interests.

“We have always made it clear that beyond this wave of conjecture, former President Jonathan was not linked, indicted or charged for collecting any monies as kickbacks or bribes by any law enforcement body the world over”.

Sulking Skunk see grammar !

Lamido is more honorable than GEJ but i don't know the source of his information

Barondenigeria:
Is it Jonathan that carried their thumbs and forced all of them to vote Lyon?? Dickson failed and wanted to impose his stooge on the state. The people revolted and clearly said NO! Why is this too hard for some people to understand??

if Gej had supported Dickson Stooge it would have been difficult for Lyon to win that ease


even wike and non of PDP from south south came around to assist Dickson during campaign and funds just because of Dickson disloyalty


using patience Jonathan's Hotel free by the APC is also a factor that considered Gej worked against Dickson


is it today Bayelsa have been accepting a stooge? Dickson was a stooge as well and yes Gej can influence voters with his political popularity in Bayelsa as Buhari can influence in kano, Kaduna and kastina


the election of Bayelsa is a test of political supremacy and popularity BTW Gej and Dickson and if Gej don't aligned with federal govt, Dickson would have rendered him politically useless post election
