The Bayelsa State chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Dennis Otiotio, has said that it would be great if Goodluck Jonathan decides to formally move to the ruling party, adding that the former President is officially not yet a member of the APC in the state.
He said this in a telephone chat with The PUNCH on Thursday morning.
He said Jonathan could only join the APC if he had been formally granted a waiver by the national chairman of the party, Adamu Abdullahi.
The Bayelsa APC Chairman spoke amid speculations that the former president had joined the APC in his Ogbia ward in Bayelsa.
“I think the person you people should be asking the question is the national chairman of the party. He should be the one to grant him (Jonathan) waiver.
“As of now, he has not officially joined our party. Ask the national chairman if he has granted him a waiver.”
He described Jonathan as “a big fish and an elder statesman, adding that it would be great if he decides to formally move to the ruling party.
