He spoke yesterday while hosting the Delta State governor.
Pulling Okowa from his seat, Jonathan, who was seen holding a plate of kola nuts and praying for his guests, asked God to grant his visitor “acceptability.”
“We pray that this kola nut being presented to all of us will give us more energy, more acceptability, and more success in all our endeavours. Especially for those who want to represent us from next year,” he stated.
Turning to Okowa, Jonathan said: “This is for our incoming vice president, who has spent his two terms as governor and needs to move up.“
Okowa said the visit was to seek Jonathan’s guidance and prayers.
He noted that it was impossible to embark on such a journey without recourse to the former Nigerian leader.
“We are here for the fact it is difficult for the party to truly go on, even as we flag off our campaign, without formally coming to request that though we are very conversant with the fact that you are playing an elder statesman role, not just within our nation but outside the country and indeed Africa, there is a need for us to come forth to plead that you need to give us guidance.
