According to the statement, Pa Jonathan died “peacefully” at about 10:45 p.m. News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) gathered that Pa Jonathan was initially taken to the Aso Clinic from where he was referred to the National Hospital, Abuja.

Chief Medical Director of the National Hospital, Dr. Segun Ajuwon, told NAN that the vice president’s father was “brought

This is no Arsenal matter over here this is politics. Do not bring controversy

My brother no mortal has power over life and death. He left Bayelsa for security reasons. Remember Goodluck's house was bombed after the elections. He was in the Villa as a resident and not a visitor.

Besides, he was ripe with age. May he rest in peace!

That's the best thing that could happen. You want him to die in the absence of his son?
