Bayelsa state PDP chairman reveals that Jonathan is an unofficial member
Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, has been confirmed as unofficial member of the All Peoples Congress in the state by the Bayelsa State chairman of the party, Dennis Otiotio.
According to him, Jonathan could only join the APC if he had been formally granted a waiver by the national chairman of the party, Adamu Abdullahi.
He said, “I think the person you people should be asking the question is the national chairman of the party. He should be the one to grant him (Jonathan) waiver.
“As of now, he has not officially joined our party. Ask the national chairman if he has granted him a waiver.”
The state APC chairman, however, described Jonathan as “a big fish and an elder statesman”.
Otiotio said it would be great if Jonathan decides to formally move to the ruling party.
