For the first time, wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, gave an indication that she might be behind the crisis rocking Rivers State at the moment as she opened up on a plethora of grudges she is nursing against the state governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi.

Mrs. Jonathan spoke in Abuja on Wednesday during a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa by 16 bishops from the South-South geo-political zone.

She said that the crisis in the state started four years ago and urged that there was need for prayers for the state.

She said, “Rivers state issue is one thing I’ve committed to prayer because I believe there is nothing God cannot do. God restored me and I’ll do his work without the fear of man.

“The truth will always remain the truth and what God ordains must come to pass and so Rivers issue is something we’ve handed over to God.’’

Nevertheless, she said she had always mediated between the governor and other parties in a crisis that she said began four years ago.

According to her, “This matter started as far back as four years ago at Anyugubiri in Okrika when I begged him not to demolish a part of Okrika but (that he should) dialogue first with the people.

“After that incident, he called the chairman of Okrika (local government) and sacked him for holding a reception in our honour; that boy was the first victim.

“He also put my people on curfew for nine months. I called him and pleaded with him but he refused. Then I began to hear all sort of propaganda in the media against me; this is not the way.

“I’ve never spoken about this issue but as men of God, I believe you’ll say the truth always because there are a lot of conflicting interests; some will hear one thing and say the exact opposite.

“I also want you to know the genesis of this problem and pray that God touches Amaechi’s heart as per his hot temper because when two elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.

“I appeal to Amaechi to sheathe his sword so that we can defend our state and this country with love, unity, patriotism and truth at all time.

“Hebrews 12:14 urges us to embrace peace with all men without which; we cannot see God.

“Amaechi is my son; I cannot fight him, and I cannot kill him. He shouldn’t be used by outsiders against his own blood because this seat is vanity.

“One day, no matter how long it takes; we will leave this seat. Power is not forever. This seat is vanity; others sat here and left so one-day I’ll also leave, and we will meet at home; so why should I fight him?

“Let’s calm down, face issues, leave non-existent matters, stop magnifying lies and respect our leaders and people in authority. Let’s give peace a chance.”

Before she spoke, the leader of the delegation, Bishop God-Do-Well Awomapara, Chairman, Niger Delta Bishops Forum, said “We are on a quest to unravel the mysteries surrounding the Rivers issue and mediate where necessary.’’

I wonder what the guys that have been swearing that PEJ and GEJ have no hands with the Rivers crises do now. Defending these two dolts becomes harder and harder as the day goes by.

Amaechi is the elected governor of rivers state, if he chooses to demolish okirika waterside slumps, he has all the rights and legal backing.

Auntie Pershie, concentrate in spending the N1bil budgeted for your husbands feeding and leave elected officials to do their work.

This woman has really pass her boundary,she forget that Ameachi is an elected office holder

Nobody should insult her excellency here o
I have warned you folks
Nobody should say pim against her excellency or else ...

This womans illiteracy is really shining like a star

Whats your business with the running of Rivers State Mrs Hippo?

Amaechi is the elected governor of the state. if you have any grievance take it to court, But I guess thats too much for Retardeeness to decode

I also want you to know the genesis of this problem and pray that God touches Amaechi’s heart as per his hot temper because when two elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.”

Who are the elephants? You are the only Hippo in the room maybe the second elephant na your mumu husband Retardeen Jonathan

Lol...who will waste his precious MB insulting a woman that keeps insulting herself?

#btw, has she recruited you into her e-team?#

Where's thelastpope & his cohorts to come & defend PEJ that she has no hands in river's crisis, stop defending the indefendable.

Prof Corruption:

“Amaechi is my son; I cannot fight him, and I cannot kill him. He shouldn’t be used by outsiders against his own blood because this seat is vanity.

Pls Patience keep quiet joor, your explanation makes no sense... Amaechi was elected Governor to make decision, you have no right to interfere ....

Prof Corruption: Before she spoke, the leader of the delegation, Bishop God-Do-Well Awomapara,

Is that an English name or the pidgin version

babyosisi: Nobody should insult her excellency here o

she dey craze, she dey maaad and she dey gongolo cigar. In fact, she dey marry okpolo while she na hippopotamus.

This news is fabricated and does emanate from the First Lady. Pls speak evil of no manm I still insist dat neither GEJ or PEJ ve hands in the Rivers crisis rather they are consulting wit Elders of the state and stakeholders to restore peace in the state.

According to her, “This matter started as far back as four years ago at Anyugubiri in Okrika when I begged him not to demolish a part of Okrika but (that he should) dialogue first with the people.

Finally she comes out

“After that incident, he called the chairman of Okrika (local government) and sacked him for holding a reception in our honour; that boy was the first victim.

“He also put my people on curfew for nine months. I called him and pleaded with him but he refused. Then I began to hear all sort of propaganda in the media against me; this is not the way.

And the hippopotamus is now on a revenge mission, to bring rivers state down.
CLAP FOR H-I-P-P-O-P-O-T-A-M-U-S

When Soyinka speaks some CREEK RATS will be shouting.

Patience just confirmed WS comments.

Prof Corruption: ....He shouldn’t be used by outsiders against his own blood because this seat is vanity.

“One day, no matter how long it takes; we will leave this seat. Power is not forever. This seat is vanity; others sat here and left so one-day I’ll also leave, and we will meet at home; so why should I fight him?.......

Now, that is funny! Why are the Jonathans bent on occupying Aso Rock for a second term if it is vanity?

Forgot to add, you are leaving 2015 btw.

Who are outsiders? and she's even stup1d enough to call Nigerians outsiders just because they are not ijaws

The answer she gave is not new,dat of okrika demolition,sacking of Local govt chairmen,and align with outsider(northerners)against his own brother.she said,she listen to propaganda(rumour)frm media.dat makes her hipopo

alaoeri: Where's thelastpope & his cohorts to come & defend PEJ that she has no hands in river's crisis, stop defending the indefendable.

Just same way you can't deny that your APC, some northern govs and ACF, NEF don't have a hand. Can you pls deny their involvement?

Even if the story originated from the first Lady, was there anything wrong in what she said?


People saying that Amechi is an elected Governor and nobody should question his authority, but still insult and question Mr. President authority, is GEJ not an elected person, they also sponsor Boko haram to cause distraction for him, God is watching and more than ever, we can see clearly what all this media propaganda is all about.

You hypocrites, why not hold you governors to accountable?

Twisting every story to suit your aspiration, come and get it.

Food for thought; He that never sees anything good in another fellow is known as devil incarnate.

No names mentioned, just identify who you are and mend your ways before it's too late.

Nevertheless, frustration leads to desperation.

Are you guys stupìd or what? She said she's not involved you fools! It is Amaechi that started this mess by sacking local government chairmen without due process. You fools should learn to read.
