Nigeria’s former president, Goodluck Jonathan, says he owes no one apologies for supporting the re-election of Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, in the November 11, 2023 off-cycle governorship poll in the state.

Jonathan also said it was the right thing to do as Governor Diri had the support of majority of the people to serve a second term in office.
