If Gov Diri lost reelection, I would have moved my mother to different location  – Jonathan

According to former President Goodluck Jonathan, if Governor Douye Diri had not won reelection, he would have moved his mother from Bayelsa State to Abuja.

According to Jonathan, Bayelsa State will be safer as a result of Diri’s election because of the governor’s commitment to addressing insecurity.

He was speaking while on a visit to Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State, at Diri.

The former president claimed that if Diri had lost, the progress made in combating the state’s insecurity would have been undone.

“We don’t want to go into an unnecessary crisis in the state,” stated Jonathan. We think the election was held, and the results have been announced.

“We fervently hope that the electorate will concede the governor’s victory and cooperate with him. Let’s all lend him our support so that the state can advance.

Nothing that would cause the state to regress should be allowed. We ought to consider the state’s evolution, beginning with the problem of peace and security. There have been notable advancements in the previous three years concerning abduction, cultism, and other related issues.

“I had stated before the election that I would have moved my mother to Abuja in the event that Diri lost.”
