» Don’t Prosecute Jonathan, Bayelsa PDP Chieftain Begs Buhari «

YENAGOA – 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.
