Armored Personnel Carrier Deployed To Guard Mrs. Jonathan’s Guest House In Bayelsa

APC and soldiers guarding Mrs. Jonathan's private business premises

A few days after the Goodluck Jonathan administration withdrew operatives of the Joint Task Force assigned to protect Government House in Rivers State, SaharaReporters has learnt that the president’s wife, Patience Jonathan, is using soldiers to guard her private guest house in Yenogoa, the capital of Bayelsa State.

Earlier this week, the Presidency ordered the withdrawal of JTF operatives guarding the official residence of Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi as a political feud between the governor, on the one hand, and President Jonathan and his wife, on the other, intensified. There was chaos in the chambers of the Rivers State legislature as four state law makers tied to the president and First Lady attempted, but failed, to impeach the speaker. In the aftermath of a bloody confrontation, the Jonathan administration pulled Mr. Amaechi’s security apparatus, which is controlled by the Federal Government.

By contrast, soldiers paid by Nigerian taxpayers are deployed to keep round-the-clock guard at Magels Resort, a commercial guest house owned by Mrs. Jonathan. The guest house has been shut down for several years and is undergoing extensive renovation that began about six weeks ago. In addition to the presence of armed soldiers, a brand new armed personnel carrier is also permanently stationed at the premises of the First Lady’s guest house.

Apart from the guest house, Mrs. Jonathan also owns a five-star hotel in the Okaka area of Yenagoa. The hotel, which construction was recently completed, is also heavily guarded by operatives of the JTF.

Mrs. Jonathan, who is notorious for greed and corruption, has acquired extensive landed properties in both Rivers and Bayelsa states. Her desire to control the politics of her home state of Rivers State is a big element in a simmering political crisis that turned bloody this week. Law makers loyal to Mrs. Jonathan stormed the state legislature with a contingent of thugs in a daring attempt to hijack the leadership of the legislative body.

Outraged by the absurd turn of events, Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka called on President Jonathan to restrain his wife’s meddlesomeness in the affairs of Rivers State.

Mrs. Jonathan bankrolled the lavish wedding ceremony of one of the four lawmakers who spearheaded the chaos in the state assembly.

Ontop wetin? Oga o for these our OGA @ d TOP and her Lady o

With power comes the abuse of power. And where there are bosses, there are crazy bosses.
Without wisdom, power tends to destroy the one who wields it.
It's nothing new.

I hate dis woman called LAME abi na DAME.

Some will start questioning the credibility of the source when they have nothing to say. Same way they called SR names during Patience health saga.

Sahara reporters?
Yawnnnn.
Wake me up when you get a credible source.

PEJ is sure an albatross around d neck of our pliant husband

While GEJ is known to av serpentine disposition to evrytin whereby he is quick to deny his involvement in d Amaechi imbroglio reminiscent of d 'It wasn't me' musical fame of Shaggy,PEJ on the other hand is a brutish n bullish no-do-gooder whose presence,actions,body-lang n movt av consistently brought public odium to d presidency of Jonathan

Ebele has a lot on his plate already n shd rein in d wife frm strutting d political landscape like a toad but I doubt if d president wil call his wife to order as it is bcuming increasingly palpable dat d wife is controlling him

This woman always making the news for the wrong reasons

It's not a new thing. That's how past first ladies do in Nigeria. But it ll surely stop soon.
Last Bullet:

tyson99: I hate dis woman called LAME abi na DAME.

hate is a very strong word. U hate her cos u neva chop 4rm her.

ULSHERLAN: This woman always making the news for the wrong reasons

You call that trash news? like someone said, wake me up when you have a credible source. till then.......

Here we go again, with another sillly PROPAGANDA from d stables of ACN (ala, APC) and d Media houses within its pockets/control. A 'story' filled with Lies, Half-truths, Distortions and all-out Propaganda tru and tru...... By d way, d Opposition shld quit been d COWARDS that they are, attacking a man they desparantly want to take power from (the MAIN reason for all the efforts) tru indirect means; attacking him tru: his wife, 'Ameachi', who (or who did not) receive him in a foreign country, what shirt or hat he is putting on, how he shaked his guests yesterday, how many times he eats in a day, and other sillly things, etc etc. Be MAN enough to attack him directly, on more serious rather than frivolious things. I mean, if this GEJ is so 'terrible' as they tell us, it should be pretty easy to bring up many REAL things he had done in other to discredit him. Abi?? This method only goes that far...

Amaechi is a nonentity

This is the same woman that said her husband is the best "couple" on earth

There is absolutely nothing wrong with soldiers guarding the first ladies guest house.she is the presidents wife for GOD sake. so she needs to be properly guarded and secured.NIGERIANS and mixed fillings.

For maximum effect, abi?

The position of the First Lady must be the best job in the world, it does not require one to stand in any elections and there is no minimum qualification to be a first lady hence we have illiterates wielding power without any sense of responsibility. The level of ignorance, arrogance and insensitivity defies belief. Nigerians should rise against this political aberration, anyone who wants to wield power and influence should contest for elections. The First lady phenomenon has become an affliction!

.

She owns a five star hotel and they are guarded by JTF...Which kain abuse of power be this?

GOAT TELL US THE TRUTH THEN

Jonathan and his wife will definitely go to jail after their terrible reign.

I am not surprised. It should be clear to all, Patience Jonathan clearly gives instructions to Goodluck in Aso Rock.

I am not surprised. You withdraw APC tanks from the official state government residence and you now allocate it to be guarding business investments of Patience Jonathan. What a vindictive government.

I am not surprised. When Prof. Soyinka informed Nigerians, that Jonathan should be held accountable if anything happens to Amaechi, some bunch of stewpeed Nigerians started heaping insults on the sagacious Prof.

I am not surprised. Nigerians in the north are becoming refugees in places like Niger, Chad and Cameroon. The government is busy protecting business interest and properties of Patience Jonathan while 42 lives of students were killed in Yobe!

And this is the same people that will come begging for your votes in 2015? If we have a conscience in this country, this disgraceful couple of President and his wife should be behind bars by now.

Sun of god: Good on her . . . .if na my wife na 'US Combat Troops and Snipers go dey my villa right now.

Why have power if you can't show it?

But don't you think this is a mis use of power?
