| Former President Jonathan |
Goodluck Jonathan, the immediate
past president of Nigeria, has narrowly escaped the death in Bayelsa state
today, November 30.
Some suspected men accused of
working for the All Progressives Congress in the state drove into Jonathan’s
convey.
The militants, who stopped and
drove into a short motorcade transporting the former leader of the nation from
the Julius Berger bridge area of the state capital Yenagoa, trailed and chased
the motorcade to the entrance of the private house of Jonathan in the Kpansia
area of the town, before they were crushed and detained by a combined team of
security operatives attached to the ex-president.
Members of the arrested band have
been taken to the Bayelsa state police command for further investigation and
interrogation.
Last year Jonathan and some top
government officials escaped an air crash at the Minna Airport, when a
presidential jet developed a technical fault, while they were aboard.
Another accident with former
president happened at the Armed Forces Remembrance Day ceremony in Abuja as one
of the soldiers in the firing party mistakenly pointed his rifle at GEJ’s
direction.
Goodluck Jonathan was serving as
president from 2010 till 2015. In March presidential poll he was defeated by
Muhammadu Buhari.
The question is. Why would APC want Jonathan dead? Of what use is that? PDP should think of something better instead of this cheap Black mail.
