Former President Goodluck Jonathan has defended his endorsement of Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, during the November 11, 2023, off-cycle governorship election.
Jonathan stated that he owes no one an apology for supporting Diri’s re-election, emphasizing that it was the right decision as the governor had the majority support of Bayelsans.
He commended Diri for his leadership, especially in maintaining peace and stability in the state, noting a reduction in the excesses of cult groups in Yenagoa.
Jonathan urged the governor to continue addressing security challenges and fulfilling the high expectations of his support base.
Senator Diri expressed gratitude for Jonathan’s endorsement, attributing the victory to the former president’s support.
