Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, today visited Ambemebiri, Okrika, hometown of the late mother of Dame Patience Jonathan, seizing the opportunity of the forthcoming burial to nurture the political support and goodwill of the Jonathan family for his administration.

Ahead of next weekend’s burial of Mrs. Charity Francis Oba, who died last July, the governor pledged his complete support of the funeral and undertook on-the-spot assessment of the preparations. Checks in Yenagoa indicate that the funeral expenses are being bankrolled by the Bayelsa treasury. During the visit, Dickson also met with Mrs. Jonathan, who is already on ground to prepare for the event, which will take place on Thursday and Friday. Dickson described Bayelsa as a “critical stakeholder,” and in demonstration of the in-law status of Bayelsa State, expressed satisfaction with the preparations.
