PoliticsAso Rock Exit: Jonathan To Live In Luxury Island Villa by imbless(op):
After May 29, President
Goodluck Jonathan will
leave the Aso Villa.
SIMON UTEBOR was at
the President’s Otuoke,
Bayelsa State-country
home where he is
expected to retire to
The air around the
sprawling estate is
amazingly cool. Looking
around, the answer to this
quickly dawns on our
correspondent. The estate
is opposite a creek, and
the rolling breeze keep
coming.
It is Otuoke, the home
town of President
Goodluck Jonathan. Otuoke
is a small island
community in the Ogbia
Local Government Area of
Bayelsa State.
And there, the estate
sprawls over a large
expanse of land
contrasting sharply with its
rustic surrounding. It is
said to belong to President
Jonathan.
On the long road to the
gates, soldiers and
members of other security
agencies, apparently on
sentry duty, walked on the
grounds. The overall air
suggested guarded and
protected serenity. No one
needs the gift of
clairvoyance to understand
they are approaching a
restricted zone.
Behind the gates, shoving
their heads above the walls
are no fewer than eight
different structures
apparently for different
purposes: recreation,
security posts and guard
quarters. A visitor to
Otuoke will not be
penalised for calling the
place a fortress.
Activities in this place, a
source within said had
been at a lull until a couple
of weeks ago. And it is
largely believed that come
May 29, after the
expiration of his tenure,
President Jonathan would
relocate to the place.
As if the President had the
premonition that he would
not live in Aso Rock beyond
2015, he was reported to
have begun acquiring
properties adjacent his
sprawling country home by
late 2013.
The President, SUNDAY
PUNCH gathered, acquired
properties on an area
which runs to about seven
acres of Otuoba which
were around his mansion
that had been there
earlier.
The place was thereafter
expanded to encase the
mansion while new
structures were erected
round it.
It was also gathered that
adequate compensation
was paid to the owners of
these properties to enable
them relocate elsewhere.
It was learnt that Jonathan
after acquiring those
buildings in 2013, engaged
the services of a
construction company, Jiito,
to expand the estate to
accommodate his new
acquisition.
Today, Jonathan’s mini –
estate, which overlooks a
creek that links Otuoke to
other coastal communities
of Bayelsa, is a cynosure
of all eyes.
A visit to Otuoke on
Thursday showed that
Jonathan’s mansions, which
had been undergoing
construction and
reconstruction in the last
10 years are now ready for
habitation. The area they
sit on is best described as
an island.
It was learnt that before
now, each time the
President visited Otuoke,
he usually slept in his
wife’s (Patience) castle
which is directly opposite
the Federal University,
Otuoke.
It was also learnt that the
Jonathans own the choicest
properties in Otuoke. The
President was said to have
built a two-storey building
each for his mother and
father opposite his own.
His wife, Dame Patience,
asides a hotel, is also said
to have numerous
buildings that have been
converted into hostels for
FUO female students.
On the readiness of the
Jonathans to return to
Otuoke, one of the military
personnel guarding his
houses said all the
mansions in the estate
were ready except one.
The soldier, who declined
to give his name, said the
contractors were fixing air
conditioners and window
blinds on the last mansion.
The security operative said,
“I can tell you that the
houses are ready.
Everything is in order. It
remains only one building
where the contractors are
putting window blinds,
curtains and air
conditioners.
“I overheard some of the
workers saying that they
had been instructed to
finish the last building
before the second week of
May. I think it is because
the President is returning
home.
“As of now, no domestic
staff or relatives are living
here. All his relatives have
their homes. It is only
military men and
policemen that are living in
some of the buildings.
“Even at that, many
buildings are left
unoccupied because the
buildings are so massive
and it will take a
community to occupy
them.”
The soldier, who said he
had been living at the place
for the past four years,
claimed some of the
President’s domestic staff
were in his Kpansia,
Yenagoa mansion, which
he built while he was
Deputy Governor of
Bayelsa.
That the President will be
returning to Otuoke
according to the soldier, is
only symbolic, stressing
that apart from the
mansions at Otuoke,
Jonathan and his family
members have numerous
buildings at Okaka Estate,
off Isaac Boro Expressway
in Yenagoa.
Many residents of Otuoke
are indeed longing to see
President Jonathan, one of
their illustrious sons,
return home.
For them, Jonathan has
made Otuoke, once a
relatively unknown place,
known to people outside it
and turning it to a city to
be reckoned with.
A resident, Prere
Goodthinking, said though
President Jonathan lost his
re-election bid, he is God-
sent, not only to Bayelsa
people but to the entire
country.
Prere said, “Whether
people like it or not,
Jonathan can best be
described as an icon of
Nigeria’s democracy. He is
a man of peace, a
gentleman and a great
statesman.
“He has proved to the
whole world that he is not
a power-monger. He has
shown the world that his
ambition is not worth the
blood of any Nigerian. We
want other leaders to
emulate him. We are going
to celebrate his return and
I hope Nigerians and the
world will also celebrate
our illustrious son.”
Another resident, who gave
his name only as Ebilari,
said Jonathan had made
Otuoke to be on the world
map for good reasons.
She said, “About 12 years
ago, Otuoke was a jungle.
Most houses there were
decrepit. But today, you
can see that the place that
was once a hamlet has
become a wonderful city.
“Buildings are springing up
everywhere. Life has
become more meaningful
for the people. Before you
mention three prominent
places in Bayelsa, Otuoke
must come up. Thus, we
are proud of our son
Jonathan. We are waiting
enthusiastically to receive
him after his national
assignment on May 29.”
