Don’t Prosecute Jonathan, Bayelsa PDP Chieftain
Begs Buhari
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in
Bayelsa state and former commissioner for
Agriculture, and Environment, Chief Lionel Jonathan
–Omo, has appealed to the incoming president elect,
Muhammad Buhari to exercise caution in probing
the outgoing administration of President Goodluck
Jonathan.
According to Chief Jonathan -Omo, attempts to
prosecute Jonathan by the incoming administration
might cause violent uprising in the Niger Delta and
should be avoided completely.
Jonathan-Omo made the remarks Wednesday in
Yenagoa during a chat with newsmen while
presenting a 54 page letter to President-Elect
Muhammad Buhari and titled, “Road map to
Success.”
Addressing Buhari, he said: “As you take over power
please don’t prosecute or persecute President
Jonathan, you will indirectly provoke a recrudescence
of violence in the Niger Delta.
Young boys will hang on that as a subterfuge to cause
violent uprising again in the Niger Delta. Avoid it
completely.”
He said he is convince that with the antecedents of
Buhari and his deep sense of integrity and discipline,
he will fix Nigeria, although not immediately.
“I am convinced that Buhari will succeed because of
his unflagging desire to rule Nigeria.
He has an internal motivation to do the job, and that
internal motivation will transform to vision,” he said.
