    Former Bayelsa State governor, Diepreye Solomon Peter Alamieyeseigha says despite everything his brother ex-president Goodluck Jonathan did for the North, they were not satisfied because what they truly wanted was power.

    “During President Jonathan’s administration, all the appointments, all the security architecture and all the revenue-generating sectors and almost everything went to the North West. A deity asked for blood and you give him oil, it is blood he wants and not oil. So my brother was giving them oil but the North was interested in taking power,” said Alamieyeseigha in an interview with Vanguard.

    “Jonathan did everything for the north. Despite what Jonathan was doing for the north, their interest was power and they got it.”

    What do you think that Jonathan did well and did not do well?

    The former governor who spent time in prison for graft and was later granted presidential pardon by Jonathan vouched for the ex-president that there was no way in the world he could have stolen state funds. Therefore, any probe of his time as president will end without finding anything.

    Asked whether Jonathan did well as president, Alamieyeseigha said: “As far as I am concerned I didn’t lift oil, I did not have oil wells and I didn’t get any contract from anybody.”

    What he, however, received was “…unlimited access to Jonathan and I used to have free access to his home. If I met him eating, I would join him and so on. Jonathan has no money. So, if Buhari is looking to extract money from him, he won’t find.”

    Asked whether Jonathan is a poor man when he claimed President Muhammadu Buhari will not find any money if he probes Jonathan, Alamieyeseigha said no, but noted that ex-president Jonathan “is a quiet and highly contented Nigerian but not a rich man.”
