It was a carnival-like atmosphere at the Port
Harcourt international airport on Sunday evening,
as former President Goodluck Jonathan returned to
the country after an international tour.
Accompanied by Patience, his wife, Jonathan who
wore a black suit and donned his usual native hat,
waved to the jubilant crowd who received him.
The atmosphere was similar to the days when he
was in power.
Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state, led top
government officials to welcome the immediate
past president.
Security personnel were also on ground to control
the crowd of supporters who thronged the airport
to welcome the former first family.
After exchanging pleasantries with some
associates, Jonathan interacted with Wike and
some of his aides before departing to his
hometown of Otuoke in neighbouring Bayelsa state.
Jonathan left Nigeria on June 4 after spending only
48 hours in the country.
Within that period, he met with President
Muhammadu Buhari, and both men were believed
to have discussed about the resurgence of
militancy.
While in England, he delivered a speech at a
session organised by Bloomberg, and later granted
an interview where he said he was being
investigated for corruption.
The comment sparked reactions, particularly on
social media.
