The Obanema of Opume Kingdom in Bayelsa State, King A. J. Turner has predicted that Nigerians will regret if they allow sentiments of tribe or religion lead them into voting out President Goodluck Jonathan in next February’s presidential election.

The monarch, who disclosed this yesterday while hosting a pro-democracy group, United Summit Friends Development Association (USFDA) in his Abuja residence, said, “Nigerians will regret if they chase President Goodluck Jonathan out of office. They should vote him in next month’s presidential election for continuity of development.

“But if they must chase Jonathan out of office, it shouldn’t be because of sentiments. It is quite a challenging time for Mr President and I will always support any cause that will promote President Jonathan’s re-election. I thank you for finding me worthy to be your grand patron. I can’t promise that I can take you to see Mr President at this time. If he returns as president, there will be enough time for you to see him so that he will thank you for your contributions. Every deed will be rewarded,” he said.
