Otuoke, a tiny island community in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, before now used to be relatively unknown by many outside it. But that has changed in recent times especially since Goodluck Jonathan, one of the prominent sons from the area, became Nigeria’s Pesident. These days, the area gets its own fair share of mention, thanks to its connection with the nation’s number one man.
