Bayelsa State leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr. Godwin Sidi, has claimed that the immediate past president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, conceded defeat to President Muhammadu Buhari to cover up the atrocities he committed while in office.

Sidi, who acted as the Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, berated those commending Jonathan for placing a telephone call on Buhari while collation was ongoing, stressing that the former President had no other choice but to do so.

The former South-South Youth leader of the PDP made this disclosure at a news conference in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, on Friday, where he called on the Federal Government and the National Assembly to commence the probe of Jonathan over the whereabouts of the Chibok girls.

“Jonathan’s conceding defeat is a ploy to cover up political atrocities he committed while in office,” he said. The APC chieftain went on to accuse Jonathan of taking possession of property seized from a former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Diepreye Alamieseigha, after the later was impeached in 2005 by the state House of Assembly and convicted for money laundering.

This, he said, paved the way for Jonathan to become the governor of the state, afterwards claiming Alamieseigha’s property, home and abroad, earlier confiscated and returned to the state by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Sidi claimed that Jonathan took possession of one of the seized buildings of Alamieseigha at Maitama, Abuja, and later handed it over to his political associate and friend, who is a monarch in Bayelsa. He also accused Jonathan of confiscating a 5-series bulletproof BMW car bought as a birthday gift for Alamieseigha by a friend.

The APC leader went on to hand a 72-hour ultimatum to the former president for him to return his predecessor’s property in his possession or face a lawsuit.
