A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Bayelsa state and former commissioner for Agriculture, and Environment, Chief Lionel Jonathan –Omo, has appealed to the incoming president elect, Muhammad Buhari not to prosecute the outgoing administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Jonathan Omo stressed that attempt to prosecute President Jonathan by the incoming administration might cause serious uprising in the Niger Delta which should completely be avoided.
The former commissioner who made the remarks today,Wednesday in Yenagoa while presenting a 54 page letter to President-Elect Muhammad Buhari, titled, “Road map to Success.”

Addressing Buhari, he said:
“As you take over power please don’t prosecute or persecute President Jonathan, you will indirectly provoke a recrudescence of violence in the Niger Delta. Young boys will hang on that as a subterfuge to cause violent uprising again in the Niger Delta. Avoid it completely.”
“I am convinced that Buhari will succeed because of his unflagging desire to rule Nigeria. He has an internal motivation to do the job, and that internal motivation will transform to vision,” he said.
