News: 80% of people who advise me have nothing to say – Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan has declared that more than
80 percent of his advisers have nothing to say. He
stated this in Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State, at a
special funeral service for eight female politicians and their
driver who died in a road accident on February 14.
Jonathan stated this in reaction to Governor Seriake
Dickson’s disclosure that he was advised against
organising a state burial for the deceased.
Jonathan said, “I was surprised when the governor said
some people asked why state burial. I told the governor that
more than 80% of people who come to advise you have
nothing to say, but just listen to them.
“From my experience as a deputy governor till today, more
than 80 per cent (of advisers) have nothing to say, but you
listen to everybody and do what is right for our people”.
Describing the day of the accident as a black day which
coloured the landscape of Bayelsa with the worst colour,
the president said, “We are here today because of the sad
event of February 14. Of course, we lost eight of our best.
“To me, it is not just that people have died, not just that
Bayelsans have died. But these are people I know too well.
These nine caskets contain the remains of people who
were dear to me, people that touched me in one way or the
other.
“Whenever I remember February 14, which was supposed
to be a Valentine’s Day, but a black day that coloured the
landscape of Bayelsa State with the worst colour we could
ever imagine. My ADC gave me the information and my PA
showed me the flaming bus on a handset. I asked myself
‘how could these people be in this flame?’ And I asked God
why?”
Jonathan continued: “When I saw that flame and imagined
that these women were being burnt and roasted, I just
couldn’t imagine. Till today, it gives me migraine. I lack
words to console the direct family members.
“The world is a stage where we have all come to play our
part and go. I believe they have played their own part. I
plead we reason they died in this circumstance probably so
that we learn to be a little more careful”. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
