I wouldn’t have been President without Alamieyeseigha – Jonathan

Former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has declared that if not for the support he enjoyed from the first civilian governor of Bayelsa State and acclaimed Governor-General of the Ijaw nation, Chief Diepriye Alamieyeseigha, he would not have become the nation’s President.
The immediate past President made this assertion yesterday when he paid a condolence visit to the family of the late politician at Opollo, in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital.

Assuring the Alamieyeseighas, particularly the widow and children, of his continued support, Jonathan stated that without the role the late Ijaw leader played in his life, he would not have risen to become the President of Nigeria.
