Jonathan hosts Obasanjo in Bayelsa   

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has visited former President Goodluck Jonathan at his home in Bayelsa State.

Jonathan and his wife, Patience, welcomed the elder statesman who was in their home for a private dinner.

Earlier before the visit, Obasanjo inaugurated a government specialist hospital in the state and unveiled the Bayelsa Heliport which was renamed after the first military administrator of the defunct Rivers State, Alfred Diete-Spiff.

Upon his arrival in Bayelsa, the former president was received by the state governor, Seriake Dickson, in company with some top government officials in the state.

Obasanjo, on Friday, commended Gov. Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa for embarking on projects that would improve the overall development of the state and the people.

Obasanjo gave the commendation while inaugurating newly built Bayelsa Diagnostic Centre.

He said the centre was built according to international standard and would assist in improving health care delivery to the people.

He added that “20 years ago when I came to Bayelsa for campaign, there was no space to gather people, but today, there is great difference.

“Yes, for full development to take place in Bayelsa, there must be accessibility in terms of transportation, communication and health care delivery.

“I must tell you, for six hours I am here, I have seen something to convince me that Bayelsa is already in transformation stage. “The health facility here is second to none.”
