The media team of former
President Goodluck Jonathan has debunked claims that he(Jonathan) was
concluding plans to dump the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the All
Progressives Congress, APC.
Following a reported disagreement
between the former President and the Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake
Dickson, there are clear indications that the former president, his family and
kinsmen backed the candidate of the APC, David Lyon in the just concluded
governorship election in the state and also celebrated his victory.
Amidst rising speculations that
Jonathan is about to decamp to the ruling party, his media, team, led by Reno
Omokri, has refuted the claims, describing the ex-President as a loyal party
member.
In a statement signed by Omokri
and made available on Tuesday, the ex-aide to the former
President on New Media, said “Former President Goodluck Jonathan is a member of
the Peoples Democratic Party.
Throughout his sojourn on Earth,
he has been a member of only one political party.
“Dr Jonathan is known for his
stability and loyalty. These are character traits that have been lifelong
companions of his. He is also an elder statesman and that role requires that he
accepts all Nigerian citizens, and indeed all the world’s peoples, in the
spirit of the brotherhood of man’’.
“As an elder statesman and
Chairman of the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation, Dr Jonathan will receive people
of goodwill who apply to pay him a courtesy visit, irrespective of their
political or religious leanings. Though a Christian, he has received Muslim
groups and other diverse visitors.
“Dr Jonathan intends to devote
the rest of his life on Earth to building unity, and engendering opportunity
for Nigerians and Africans and he has no desire, or reason to engage in
partisan politics beyond being a loyal member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
“His being a member of the
Peoples Democratic Party is institutional. In fact, it is more accurate to
state that his eternal party is Nigeria, for which he reminds all Nigerians
that they are brothers and sisters born from the womb of one Nigeria.”
