Na’abba: Jonathan recruited opportunists, created ...

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives and PDP chieftain, Ghali Umar Na’abba has given insight to the cause of People Democratic Party’s defeat at the last poll, in his words,“most of us in the party particularly the elders were not carried along in Goodluck Jonathan’s enterprise. Rather, he recruited from a class of people that we never knew were in the party because they never belonged to the party. He recruited opportunists who crossed over from other parties. He recruited entertainers who had never been politicians to come and manage his election. Apart from this, events happening within the government have also caused so much disaffection within the PDP.

So I thank everyone

However, the governor could not ensure the release of the inmates as the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Ayodeji Daramola, advised that some due process needed to be followed before he can veto their release.
