The wife of the Acting President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, is angry with the Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva, for allegedly working against the emergence of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan as acting president. Though Jonathan, in his speech, after the National Assembly’s resolution installing him as the acting president, had said there were neither winners nor losers in his emergence, but facts available to Daily Sun indicated that, Mrs. Jonathan is at loggerheads with those perceived to have worked against her husband’s emergence as acting president.

According to sources, Mrs. Jonathan allegedly pointedly accused Sylva, when he paid her a visit at their Akinola Aguda residence, of conniving with those who made efforts to frustrate the moves to make her husband acting president.

The sources said Mrs. Jonathan, who refused a gift Sylva brought for her, even mentioned a particular amount Sylva was said to have contributed to the war chest against her husband.


Visitors at the residence were said to have been shocked as Mrs. Jonathan launched into a bitter tirade against Sylva, who came with some government functionaries from the state.

All efforts by Sylva to explain and exonerate himself from any plot against Jonathan fell on deaf ears as Mrs. Jonathan refused to listen to him, it was gathered.


“You know madam has been a staunch supporter of Governor Sylva but during the governor’s last visit, madam accused him of working against her husband. Even the gift the governor brought, she refused it, and accused him of budgeting money to fight her husband.”

An impeccable source close to Governor Sylva, who confirmed the story, said it was unfortunate that Mrs. Jonathan would believe mischief makers who had been attempting to cause disharmony between Jonathan and Sylva since the latter became governor of the state.


“Everybody knows what Bayelsa is going through financially, where would the governor get money to prosecute an imaginary war?” the source asked.

The source said Sylva was unruffled and remained focused in giving his best to Bayelsa as he believed that he would be vindicated at the end of the day.

It would be recalled that an aide of Sylva, the Director General of Tourism and Publicity Bureau, Hon. Nathan Egba, had come out to defend Sylva when reports about his alleged involvement in the anti-Jonathan plot filtered out.


Egba, who noted that Jonathan and Sylva’s relationship remained cordial, stated that Sylva as a governor had no role in who became acting president.

He had said: “People without understanding or taking a situation in their proper perspective begin to insinuate and say things.

There is no constitutional role for any governor in the vice president succeeding the president in this country. So, Sylva does not have any such powers and he is not even pretending to have such powers.”

Sorry, what has obj got to do with this stupid story?

Dont believe everything you read on the pages of newspapers & internet. A lot of them are imaginations of the writers.

Jonathan is also a 'submissive' husband. Just like Yar'Adua. All these henpecked presidents sef.

Abi how many times did the papers talk of Stella Obasanjo sticking out her chest to meddle in 'bolekaja' politics. No smoke without a fire abeg

Immediately GoodLuck was made governor, his wife was caught with $2,000,000.00 cash at MM airport by EFCC.

What happened to that case?

And in 2010 Nigerians expect miracle from same woman and her husband!

Nigerians deserve the LIFE they have at the moment. If they want true change, they will remember Bob Marley:

Stand up for your right
