The Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, has promised leaders from his home state, “I will so perform that Nigerians will ask that another Bayelsa son should be the President of Nigeria”.
He said these words while playing host to royal fathers from Bayelsa State who came to pay him a Christmas and solidarity visit in the Presidential Villa.
The delegation was led by the Governor of Bayelsa State, Mr Seriaki Dickson.
Dickson said that Bayelsans were proud of President Jonathan and have come to show that even at Christmas they were with him.
Wishing him victory in the 2015 presidential election, the Bayelsa royal fathers did not mince words in expressing their support for the President.
Gladdened by their choice of words, President Jonathan also recognised that the 2015 election was not just about Bayelsa people alone but for all Nigerians to decide.
He, however, reassured them of giving his best as President, promising not to disappoint them for the trust they have put in him.
The President, who has worked with many of them in the past, expressed joy as he is always pleased to see them around.
The guests also presented the President with a bold greeting card from the government and people of Bayelsa State.
Governor Seriake Dickson had, on Monday, predicted victory for President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 presidential election.
This was at the last edition of the state’s monthly praise night at the King of Glory Chapel, Government House, Yenagoa.
Asking for prayers on behalf of the President, the Governor also urged voters in the state to obtain their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) in readiness for the general election.
“With constant prayers from Bayelsans and leaders at all levels, he would emerge victorious, because God answers prayers,” he said.
