Bayelsa Poll: I Would Have Relocated My Mother To Abuja If Diri Had Lost – Jonathan

Jonathan, who is a former governor of the oil-rich state, spoke on Friday when he visited Diri in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, almost one week after the governor stormed to victory in a keenly contested poll.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has hailed Governor Douye Diri’s efforts at tackling insecurity, saying the Bayelsa leader’s re-election means the state would be a lot safer.

Jonathan, who is a former governor of the oil-rich state, spoke on Friday when he visited Diri in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, almost one week after the governor stormed to victory in a keenly contested poll.

While congratulating Diri for winning the exercise, the former president said if Douye had lost, the gains made in curbing insecurity would have been lost.

“We don’t want to go into unnecessary crisis in the state. Results have been declared and we believe the election was conducted. We believe the governor won the election and we plead that people should accept it and work with the governor. Let all of us support him so that the state will move ahead,” he said during the gathering.

There should be nothing that will push the state backward. We should think about the development of the state starting from the issue of peace and security in the state which within this last period, three years plus, there are significant improvements in terms of cultism and kidnapping and so on and so forth.

“I was saying before this election that if Diri loses this election, I would have relocated my mother to Abuja.”

While recounting how his cousin was kidnapped and killed, Jonathan expressed optimism that with Diri returning as the governor of the state, the situation would soon be a thing of the past.

My cousin was kidnapped two times on one of those occasions, one of my cousins, Solo, was killed because they threw him into the river and he didn’t know how to swim,” he added.

“So, we’ve passed through hell in this state and we’ve seen a little light at the end of the tunnel. So, people should calm down, and allow Diri to focus on governance so that he will be able to propel this state forward so that we will benefit as citizens of the state.”

Diri had earlier in the day received his certificate of return from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for a second term in office. He will be sworn in for another four-year tenure next year.

Goodluck Jonathan is a good man with very free mind. His mind is so free that he now hates the headless mobs who now engage in cannibalism because he lost re-election.

The way the barbarians now insult every body for "betraying gej" these days is even irritating to gej himself. As it is now, gej now see them as the major reason behind his failure in that presidential election.

He so hate them that he now openly identifies with the same man whose name sends shivers down their useless spines.

Very funny pipu. grin

Congratulations Bayelsans


Is GEJ subtly saying that APC is synonymous to insecurity, because apart from PDP the only party that could have captured Balyesa with their snatch it's, grab it and run away mantra is APC.

There is no week that will pass without hearing one form of security threat in key APC states like:
Benue, Plateau, Borno, Kogi, Imo,Ogun, Lagos, Kaduna, Yobe, Ondo etc
Even Abuja where the snatch it, grab it and run away master is sitting is not spared.

When ever US issues a travel ban, check most of the state are always governed by APC.
90% are always APC states.

Congratulations to Bayelsan from freeing from APC insecurity issue.
I only pity Kano that they have grabbed, snatched and added to their insecurity worsening State.

Once I again, I Congratulate the good people of Bayelsa.
Imo people should just pray for the next for years to come fast.

When Obasanjo called Jonathan “clueless”, I thought he was being harsh on him.

But over the years, Jonathan has proven that he’s not just clueless, he’s a daft.

That Nigeria is where she is today is because of the man’s stupidity.

A sitting president allowed himself to be bullied out of power and became a confusionist since then.

Never blows hot.

Never blows cold.

Just there.

That’s why as an ex president he doesn’t have the loyalty of anyone.

Foolish man!

Don’t be like Jonathan.

Anytime i see Jonathan, he brings back the memory of how he accepted unmerited defeat and allowed that dullard to take over power.

He's one of the people that put Nigeria in the mess she is today

That is a question nobody is willing to answer, that allocation is enough to make that state a paradise, same goes for most states in Nigeria.
