According to Jonathan: “PDP has been a very friendly party, I am a member of PDP and I know from the beginning till today, it has been a very friendly party, PDP is a party that carries everybody along and we should extend that to Bayelsa State.
Jonathan has been linked with a possible move to the APC after he played host to some chieftains of the ruling party.
