A PDP chieftain has urged Buhari to be careful while probing Goodluck Jonathan, as the action might result to a serious and violent reaction from the Niger Delta people.
The President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari has been advised to thread with caution if he intends to probe the outgoing president, Goodluck Jonathan, as it could instigate violence in several parts of the country.
According Chief Lionel Jonathan-Omo, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Bayelsa state and former commissioner for Agriculture, and Environment, attempts to prosecute Jonathan might cause violent uprising in the Niger Delta and should be avoided completely.
“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.”
“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.
