The former president publically announced that he wished to settle in his hometown Otuoke in Bayelsa State a few days ago.
Mr. Jonathan was met by a jubilant crowd of supporters, from across
the six States of the Niger Delta region. The former president was
accompanied by his wife, Patience Jonathan, despite previous reports
that the Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan were quarrelling because she expressed
little interest in returning to Bayelsa State.
Mr. Jonathan was also accompanied by Ondo State Governor Olusegun
Mimiko, the Bayelsa State Governor Seriake Dickson, along with other
dignitaries.
Former President Jonathan told the crowd that he was short of words
to express his feelings. He also added that he thought he would be booed
and cursed at by the people for some decisions he made, and the lack of
development in Bayelsa State.
He told the crowd that, “because you are exposed to the high office,
and the thought that you may not have satisfied the people, sometimes
you think they will curse you or boo you. But instead, the people have
decided to celebrate me."
Mr. Jonathan announced his plans after leaving office, and said that,
"Nigerians have given me so much and the only thing I can do with the
rest of my life is to dedicate myself to peace building. We need peace
and development. Political crises don't bring development. I believe the
new administration will work with everybody. I am happy the new
President said he does not belong to any clique."
