If you’ve ever wondered where the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan
will retire to once his time as president is up on May 29th we can tell
you… it’s his hometown of Otueke, a small island in Bayelsa where he
has built for himself and his family a sprawling estate.
According to the Punch, soldiers and members of other security agencies walk the estate grounds which currently holds eight different structures.
According to the report, GEJ started acquiring properties adjacent to his country home in late 2013.
He reportedly acquired properties on an area which runs to about seven acres of land around his mansion, he reportedly paid off the people who lived there so he could expand the estate.
It is also being reported that after acquiring the land around his property, he hired a construction company called, Jiito Construction to complete the estate.
According to a source, activities at the estate were at a lull until a couple of weeks ago, which is why many have presumed it now needs to be quickly finished for GEJ to move into come May 29.

I can tell you that the houses are ready. Everything is in order. It remains only one building where the contractors are putting window blinds, curtains and air conditioners. I overheard some of the workers saying that they had been instructed to finish the last building before the second week of May. I think it is because the President is returning home. As of now, no domestic staff or relatives are living here. All his relatives have their homes. It is only military men and policemen that are living in some of the buildings. Even at that, many buildings are left unoccupied because the buildings are so massive and it will take a community to occupy them.GEJ also owns a property in Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa, which he built when he was the state Deputy Governor lsa.
