The first lady,Dame Patience Jonathan, yesterday, said she had no hand in the suspension of the governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

In a statement, the Senior Special Assistant to the First Lady on Media and Publicity, Ayo Osinlu said the allegation was “not only dubious, but also diversionary, unfair, unkind, and therefore totally unacceptable”.

According to him, Mrs. Jonathan was not an official of the PDP and as such could not have led ‘the elders of the party by the nose’ to take such a decision.

“It has again come to our notice that a new twist has been introduced to the carefully orchestrated scheme to anchor the political fortunes or survival of certain embattled politicians on a deliberate demonisation of the First Lady, Dame (Dr.) Patience Goodluck Jonathan.

“This new twist came by way of a so-called “investigation” reported on the front page of a national daily, yesterday.

“According to the report, the First Lady, as characteristic these days, is being alleged to have influenced the suspension of Governor Rotimi Amaechi from PDP by the National Working Committee, NWC, of the party.

“We consider it laughable that it can be assumed by any sane person that the First Lady could possibly “summon” the members of the NWC of the party for the purported purpose of handing down “stern directives” on crucial party decisions.

“We ask, on what platform? Within what contexts? In what capacity? Is it not an unfortunate insult on all the elders that constitute the NWC to insinuate that they were assembled by the First Lady, or anyone else for that matter, and instructed on positions of the party? And why couldn’t newspaper’s “investigators” name at least a few of those in attendance of this famous meeting?

“We consider it a most unbecoming insolence, to say the least DISRESPECTFUL, of any one to suggest that the whole of PDP was led by the nose and influenced by a private interest, in a matter that so evidently borders on party discipline and administration.

“Only recently, we were compelled to make a statement, warning those who have become specialists in looping their self-induced political travails around the First Lady, to develop another strategy for their survival.

“This was when another vicious lie was circulated that Her Excellency had, again, “summoned” service chiefs in Rivers State, and instructed them to be firmer in handling the Rivers matter.

“Let us state once again, that the First Lady is not an elected official of state, neither is she a party functionary. She therefore recognises very clearly her place in the scheme of things and acts always accordingly within context.

“In safe estimation, the whole of this is a conscious calculation to sustain the issue of Governor Amaechi in full public view, as well as to explore the possibility of keeping public sympathy in his favour.

“While we have no challenges with the Amaechi camp struggling for political survival and relevance, we wish to state categorically our strong objection to the wicked use of the name and profile of the First Lady in the process.

“For us this is not only dubious, but also diversionary, unfair, unkind, and therefore totally unacceptable.

“We wish to warn that if this trend continues in the near and distant future, we may be constrained to take action within legally permissible limits to protect the integrity of the office and person of the First Lady.”

4th to...... Am getting there. @topic, it's difficult to decide who to bliv.

Every thing in Nigeria is politics

Can't she talk by herself? must someone else do the talking for her?

That's is Mama Nigeria for you she can never do that she is a very nice woman so haters back off she off limit

berem: Can't she talk by herself? must someone else do the talking for her?

she can but she has some1 else paid 2 do dat.

What is the difference between Jonathan and patience .

soyad: What is the difference between Jonathan and patience .

Nothing, they r both sub-standard products of the creeks

What more evidence D̶̲̥̅̊Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ we need again?she Iƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇ †ђξ mischief behind Amaechi's travail,‎​Ϟo doubt about that.Meanwhile,she should Ђανξ ΐτ̅ i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ her mind that †ђξ lsgislators i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ River state,S/w,anϑ †ђξ Northern Govs are behind Amaechi.Lamido anϑ Amaechi are ObJ's choice fO̶̲̥̅̊Я̩̥̊ 2015.

Amaechi is a liar and a traitor,he is seeking public sympathy.

Another bullshit here. If the reciprocal concept or law takes its course, the unfortunate one will cry accusing every direction. Ameachi was going after two goodies and nature, as usual, disappoints, having taken two steps instead of one, will disappoints. Ameachi's gradual downward fall is his own making. Do not attribute this to Madam Jona.
But why are nigerians still at this level? When will disappointment of many nigerians come to a stop? Is this issue too complex to reason? The level of forustration in me due to many people not being able to reasons correctly is increasing! Where do we go to on earth to undergo some form of corrective measures in the brains of majority of nigerians. As clear as this issue is, some individual will still require further expantuation. I believe in God, he will assist us one of these days.

Oh! So now she is not an elected official of state and she now recognises very clearly her place in the scheme of things and acts accordingly within the context


On what platform was she trying to base her multi-billion naira building project on


These hirelings in the presidency can be very dubious and funny with the truth sometimes.


It is no doubt that politics in Nigeria is about personalities and not about the system.... When an unelected person wields so much power and has unrestricted access to the tax payer's money...


Naija, which way When will change come if we continue like dis

“In safe estimation, the whole of this is a conscious calculation to sustain the issue of Governor Amaechi in full public view, as well as to explore the possibility of keeping public sympathy in his favour.

...Hmmmm. but ths statement implies the insinuation now,if properly captured.

...It implies the writer has a grudge (conflict) against the person in question (Amaechi)
