Dennis Otiotio, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Bayelsa State, claimed on Thursday that Goodluck Jonathan is not a party member in the state.
According to Otiotio, Jonathan may only join the ruling party if the party’s national head, Adamu Abdullahi, grants him a waiver.
This was revealed by Otiotio in an interview with Newsmen on Thursday morning.
Jonathan reportedly joined the APC in his Ogbia ward in Bayelsa, according to the Bayelsa APC Chairman.

Otiotio said, “I think the person you people should be asking the question is the national chairman of the party. He should be the one to grant him (Jonathan) a waiver.
“As of now, he has not officially joined our party. Ask the national chairman if he has granted him a waiver.”
The APC Chairman, however, described the former president as a big fish and an elder statesman.
He further stated that it would be great if Jonathan decides to join the ruling party ahead of the 2023 general election.
