Aggrieved elders from the Bayelsa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have condemned alleged attempts by former President Goodluck Jonathan to nominate the State’s ministerial slot in President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s incoming cabinet.

The stakeholders under the auspices of the Bayelsa APC Elders Council wondered why Jonathan is angling to produce a minister after actively and openly supporting the candidate of his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alh. Atiku Abubakar.

Speaking in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, on Tuesday, the Chairman of the council, Chief Michael Adomokeme said it was wrong for Jonathan to be trying to reap where he did not sow.

He said Jonathan was threading the part of unfairness and injustice, insisting that his desperation could be likened to someone seeking to receive salaries from company A after working for company B.

But Adomekeme expressed confidence that President Tinubu as a known rewarder of hard work would not allow a situation of ‘monkey work, baboon chop’.

He said: “People shouldn’t try to reap where they have never sowed. Some of us have been here since the early days of this party, when it was considered to be a taboo just by being a member.

“You all remember, APC in Bayelsa was called either Islamic party or Hausa party by these same people, I mean, Jonathan and his people. Fast forward to the 2023 elections, President Jonathan did everything to make sure we failed, but we didn’t as God would have it. What right has he to suddenly want to now nominate the minister from Bayelsa State?

“He was president for six years, and he personally nominated dozens of Ministers. Why is he now so interested in just the single position we as a party in Bayelsa want to get? Is it to truncate the APC’s visible path to victory come November?

“It is even an aberration and very demeaning for a former President to go cap-in-hand begging for a single ministerial slot. It ridicules and relegates the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“He has been dubbed a statesman and hero of democracy. Fine and good, let him continue being that and not being a statesman by day and a political lobbyist by night.”

When I told you people that Jonathan is the pillar holding Tinubu’s government, you all said I don't know what I'm saying. See the receipt.

As for those SWAGA supporters, see who your hope is standing on. A perennial electoral loser like Jonathan. Or worse, a supersonic klutz losing machine like Wike. So, you should know that failure is waiting for you.

Nigeria... if the benchmark was to get renowned technocrats with visible investment in the real sector, minimum employment of 10,000 (direct and in-direct), I dont think we would have more than 7 persons to pick from.. that way, we would encourage technocrats to push up employment figures, thereby increasing output and real investment.. alongside giving them a "cherry at the top" self actualization..

Anyways, we can still pick from Wike, Ganduje, Fayemi and Ngige.. they are the best in society..

What about the basement

He is a former president and has certain privileges. Those APC guys making noise were once with him in PDP.

Everyone wants to be included in Tinubu’s cabinet. Even Alex Otti of Labour Party has forwarded his nomination.

Tinubu is the father of the country though. He will ensure balancing by carrying all interest groups along.

When he's handcuffed and transported to the Hague, I hope you will be at his side?

Support or not, you don't have a choice. Peter Obi will be president by late December or January 3rd. Everyone is slowly coming on board. Join now or cry later.

Lolz

Op why r you tryna be halfsmart?
Wittyness

Goodluck is a very shameless man, u rule nigeria for complete 6years yet no road to ur village and no development in bayelsa.
The woman rapper president should go back to his useless party and stop causing nuisance in bayelsa

Jonathan should leave politics please, he's the originator of the present Nigeria, this is the bitter truth whether you like it or not

Jonathan should better steer clear of APC shenanigans as his residual reputation will be damaged beyond repairs.

Was Jonathan really the originator of the present Nigeria

Two more weeks now pushed till December.

Delusions .

I Jonathan has proven through his actions in the recent past that he’s truly an ineffectual buffoon as the former UK Prime Minister called him.

Man blows both hot and cold at the same time; stands for nothing.

Sometimes I wonder if this was how he behaved while he was in office.

Very stupid man! I never really thought I would say this about Jonathan, but he left me no choice.

Yuck!

Before Jonathan became a governor, there was no Boko Haram, no bandits, no herdsmen. When Baba Iyabo said that snipers are on the roof, he knew what he was talking about.

Obasanjo's administration was good, Yaradua was very good too then Jonathan came with his Ministers, Diezani, Adoke and others and started devouring Nigeria, Buhari met it in a mess and couldn't do anything rather he killed it too. Then Asiwaju came on board and taking drastic decisions to save Nigeria yet they already give their scorecard within this few months. Let's be realistic nobody can save Nigeria overnight, whichever messiah is telling you that is just trying to deceive you. May God help Mr president to carry out his good plans

Garfield1 I thought Jonathan is a retired politician?

Shame on GEJ
U keep dining and whining with pigs what do you expect

This same people disgraced you out of office
You didn't leant your lessons
Now they are still dragging you like generator into their mess.

GEJ is truelly a weak man

Bola Ahmed Tinubu has no good plan for Nigeria he only said that it is his turn

So GEJ should have supported Obi who stole all campaign funds meant for GEJ's reelection ?

If anything , GEJ's failed re-election bid was caused by Igbos who worked in the shadows to see GEJ failed to garner much votes in the SE.

Or how can you explain that virtually all Ibo appointtees of GEJ and SE PDP were the first to decamp to join Buhari and the APC.

Stella Odua, Andy Uba, Ken Nnamani and a host of others too numerous to mention were the first to decamp to the APC immediately GEJ conceeded.

GEJ is now fully anti Ibo and it stems from the betrayal he got from the yeast .

Is that all you got from his manifesto? But it's truly his turn 😂

Lol Why lamentation and curse full this thread must everybody support who you support....

You are so obsessed with Obi
Elections are over get over it

The point is GEJ should at least have respect for himself

It has nothing to do with Igbos or Obi...

You don't need to drag Igbos and Obi into any conversation

.. They are not the course of your trekking or present condition
