A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Bayelsa
State, Lionel Jonathan-Omo, has begged Muhammadu
Buhari not to prosecute President Goodluck Jonathan when
he gets into power.
The former commissioner for agriculture, and environment,
said any attempt to prosecute Jonathan may result in
violent uprising in the Niger Delta region, Vanguard reports.
Jonathan-Omo disclosed this while speaking to journalist as
he presented a 54 page letter to Buhari titled: ‘Road map to
Success.’ 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 .”
The PDP chieftain was optimistic that Buhari will fix Nigeria,
though 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. Tomorrow, Buhari will be sworn in as president of Nigeria.
On May 22, Friday, the president-elect traveled to London.
He arrived Nigeria today ahead of the inauguration
ceremony which will take place tomorrow at the Eagle
Square, Abuja. Jonathan has said Buhari should not only probe his administration but do the same for the past governments.

Panick everywhere, dis pple didn't remember the masses when dey were embezzling, dey must pay for every crimes committed else dey are giving a thief and fraudsters the right to operate.. Don't throw a criminal to jail if dis pple go without charges pressed on them

They shud shut their crap!

Is something fishing here? Whats up with begging the future president not to prob the president goverment

GEJ is not saying don't probe me. Just don't probe me alone. The 'leaks' as alleged did not start in his administration.

I understand Mr Lionel's reason for panic considering the power the Niger Delta holds in Nigerian revenue, but the probe decision rests with the President-elect. Its his call.

God bless the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Mr minister of Agricultural the maxim is "if you can't do the term don't do the crime" please allow the doctrine of probitas to take its natural course an alternative for GEJ is to return all monies illegally gotten.

All I can say is that buhari can do nothing to gej.
