Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson,
today visited Ambemebiri, Okrika,
hometown of the late mother of Dame
Patience Jonathan, seizing the opportunity
of the forthcoming burial to nurture the
political support and goodwill of the
Jonathan family for his administration.
Ahead of next weekend's burial of Mrs. Charity
Francis Oba, who died last July, the governor
pledged his complete support of the funeral and
undertook on-the-spot assessment of the
preparations. Checks in Yenagoa indicate that the
funeral expenses are being bankrolled by the
Bayelsa treasury.
During the visit, Dickson also met with Mrs.
Jonathan, who is already on ground to prepare for
the event, which will take place on Thursday and
Friday. Dickson described Bayelsa as a "critical
stakeholder," and in demonstration of the in-law
status of Bayelsa State, expressed satisfaction
with the preparations.
He re-assured the bereaved family of the resolve
of the Government and people of the State to
support them all the way in ensuring the success
of the entire funeral programme. According to
him, he will lead a high-powered delegation of
present and past Governors and Deputy
Governors, past and present members of the
National Assembly from all the Ijaw-speaking
areas of the country, Speakers and members of
State Houses of Assembly, Members of State
Executive Councils, Chairmen of Local
Government Councils, Top Government
functionaries, First Class Traditional rulers and
opinion leaders to participate fully in funeral
activities of Late Mrs. Charity Oba.
In effect, the work of the executives and
legislatures nationwide, as well as of local
government councils will be paralyzed at the
expense of the ordinary man as Nigeria's
sycophancy train rolls into Bayelsa loaded with
opportunists who are desperate for Mr. and Mrs.
Jonathan to see how deeply they are worshipped.
