'BUHARI WILL FIND NOTHING IF HE IS LOOKING FOR JONATHAN'S MONEY'- Alameiseigheia

A former governor of Bayelsa State and self-styled
Governor-General of Ijaw nation, Diepreye Solomon
Peter Alamieyeseigha, DSP, has declared that former
President, Goodluck Jonathan has no money, stressing
that President Muhammadu Buhari will find nothing if
he is expecting to extract money from his predecessor.
The once political godfather of Jonathan made this
disclosure while interacting with Vanguard, where he
claimed that the former President is “a quiet and highly
contented Nigerian but not a rich man.”
Alamieyeseigha, while faulting Balarabe Musa’s recent
assertion that Jonathan was not prepared for
leadership, insisted that the Bayelsa-born statesman is
more experienced than any other president that has
ruled this country in the past.
While wondering how somebody who has been in office
for 16 years can be said not to be qualified, he
explained that Jonathan was “in office as deputy
governor and was overseeing administration of local
governments and was very conversant with the
administration of local governments at that level. He
was also performing the role of a deputy governor.
“He became a governor and is also familiar with
governance at that level. He became a vice president
and later acting president and a president. Which
Nigerian has that pedigree? None. So, Balarabe Musa
goofed. I am not aware of any special school that
people go to become president.
“Academically, he is more qualified than any of them,
and in our local environment at the University of Port
Harcourt, he has street knowledge because he is locally
bred.”
Admitting that not everybody will like his style, the
former Governor maintained that no other president has
done for Nigeria the much that Jonathan did for the
country. He maintained that the former President is,
“unassuming but with very high intellectual content.”
