Vice President Goodluck Jonathan months after laying his father to rest was back in his hometown Otuoke in Ogbia Local Government of Bayelsa State to bury his paternal cousin Mrs. Harriet Agbalayam Digha.

Spaeking at the burial, he described her as an amiable and friendly person whom he had a very close relationship with since his father and her mother were the only children of their parents.

Officiating Pastor at the interment, Pastor Joe Agbaje of the Christ Embassy Church in Yenagoa said Mrs. Digha was a devout Christian who cared for those around her, urging others to make an example of her.

The ceremony was attended by the Vice President's wife Dame Patience Jonathan, Deputy Bayelsa State Governor Hon. Peremebowei Ebebi, Speaker of the State House of Assembly among other dignitaries.

Mrs. Digha was a successful businesswoman and passed on a fortnight ago at the age of 51.
