Mr. Tony Uranta has countered claims that the pardon granted the former Governor of Bayelsa state, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha is wrongly timed.
He likened the pardon to the recent amnesty request by the Sultan of Sokoto for members of Boko Haram sect.
“Is the Sultan not thinking right to make such a request?” he asked in response to people raising issues with the timing of Alamieyeseigha’s pardon.
