No apologies for backing Diri’s re-election, says Jonathan

Tamarauemi Ebimini

Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, has said that he owes no one apologies for supporting the re-election of Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, in the November 11, 2023 off-cycle governorship poll in the state.

He also said it was the right thing to do, as Diri had the support of the majority of Bayelsa people to continue in office.

He stated this, on Tuesday, when the governor and high-powered delegation visited the former President at his residence in Yenagoa, the state capital, on New Year day.

Jonathan’s wife, Patience, was also on hand to receive the governor and his entourage.

The former President explained that he publicly endorsed Diri’s candidature during the governorship election because of his visionary leadership demonstrated in the way he handled affairs of the state.

According to him, the governor deserved to be re-elected for his developmental efforts, particularly for ensuring peace and stability in the state.

He said: “I did what l did during the governorship election and l have no apologies to anybody, because l know that the governor and his team were doing very well, especially around peace and stability of the state. At the time, l became very worried.”
