President Jonathan's 133 aides
By Elor Nkereuwem
February 20, 2011 01:32AM


There is a flurry of activity in the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF). Piles of files and documents are being collated and officials have been detailed to analyse the huge mass of documents and data. NEXT investigations reveal that the SGF’s office is working behind the scenes for President Goodluck Jonathan who is determined to produce a comprehensive response to the report of the Presidential Advisory Council (PAC) which last month accused his government of wasting funds on a behemoth work force.

Among other things, Mr. Jonathan will put up a valiant defence for the over 133 personal aides which he currently hires for the Presidency and who get paid about N780 million every year. Sources who spoke with NEXT in confidence said that although there are civil servants officially stationed in the State House, the Presidency has not only hired this large array of private aides but is furious with the Theophillus Danjuma-led committee for questioning these appointments.

The advisory council was set up in March, 2010 by the president, “to evaluate policy implementation and advise on areas requiring adjustments; to advise the President on how to maximise the benefits derivable from government’s efforts; to advise on such actions and programmes that may improve credibility and performance of the government.” Almost a year later, on January 20, 2011, the group submitted a major report, which heavily criticised Mr. Jonathan’s government.

The council had among other recommendations, advised the president to prune the bloated federal bureaucracy. But few days after the report was released, Mr. Jonathan announced the appointment of new special advisers and assistants.

Yet, determined to respond to the charges by the council, the presidency has set up a team, mandated to prepare a report that will reflect the government’s gripe with the PAC report. The team is being coordinated by officials in the office of the SGF, Yayale Ahmed, and is expected to show that the PAC, made up of eminent Nigerians including Fola Adeola and Kanu Agabi, is largely ignorant of the intricacies of government affairs.

“They have concluded that the Danjuma group is made up of people who do not understand the workings of government,” a source within the SGF’s office said, asking not to be named since he was not speaking in official capacity.

“Danjuma and his people have become infamous because of the report. To them, the group does not understand issues like national character or the constitutional provision for the engagement of assistants,”


133 aides

An official document obtained by NEXT, titled ‘List of presidential Aides as at February, 2011’ shows that the country currently pays for at least 133 personal aides to the president, the vice-president, and the first lady. These aides, who are mostly political appointees, include the Chief of Staff to the President, Deputy Chief of Staff to the Vice President, Principal Secretary to the President, Principal Secretary to the Vice President, 25 special advisers, 42 senior special assistants, 52 special assistants and 12 personal assistants. [color=#550000]Two of the personal assistants are Malian and Senegalese tailors who sow the president’s clothes.

Activist Shehu Sani, president of the Civil Rights Congress, said most of the appointees were simply engaged by President Jonathan as campaign foot soldiers.

“The president is simply wasting our national resources and applying pressure on the economy by settling cronies, bootlickers and parasites on the corridors of power with appointments,” said Mr. Sani who wants labour, civil society and opposition parties to check the trend.

Looking through the list, some of the appointments indeed appear to be duplication of duties. For instance, there are six physicians (two senior special assistants and four special assistants) who attend to the health needs of the president, the vice president and the first lady. They include two chief physicians to the president and vice president, two personal physicians to the President and the vice president, an assistant personal physician to the president and a personal physician to the first lady. Yet some public hospitals across the country do not have a single physician.

Apart from the large number of domestic staff in the presidential villa, who are civil servants, there are also six special assistants in charge of domestic matters for the president and his vice. Their job descriptions are special assistants on presidential household matters, domestic affairs, domestic matters, household administration, social events and household matters, and domestic affairs.

Eleven of the presidential aides on the list work for the unconstitutional office of the First Lady. They are Ike Neliaku and Oroyemisi Oyewole, both senior special assistants on administration to Mrs. Jonathan; Mary Oba, a special assistant on administration; Grace Koroye, coordinator, Organization of African First Ladies Against HIV/AIDS, and Martha Owuzurumba, coordinator, African First Ladies Peace Mission. Other aides of Mrs Jonathan are Hannah Offor, a special assistant on protocol, Isiaku Aliagan, her media assistant, and Elizabeth Austin Amadi, her personal physician. On August 13, 2010, Mrs. Jonathan’s stylist, Agnes Aineneh, was appointed a presidential assistant. Two ladies-in-waiting were also appointed for the president’s wife. In the United Kingdom, the term Lady-in-Waiting, according to Wikipedia, is used to describe a woman attending a female member of the royal family other than the Queen or Queen Consort. In Cambodia, the term refers to high ranking female servants who served food and drink, fanned and massaged, and sometimes provided sexual services to the King. It is however not clear what Justin Adaba and Amina Iye Ahmadu do for Mrs. Jonathan.

Yet, there are other aides of the First Lady that are not on the list. Among them are her steward, Benson Okpara; her luggage officer, Geoffrey Obuofforibo; her aide-de-cap, Jacob Tamunoibuomi; her orderly, Abigail Jonah, her chief security officer; Francis Ibiene; her director of protocol, Mfama Abam; her principal protocol officer, Nuhu Kwache; and another media assistant, Ayobami Adewuyi.

It remains unclear the exact number of official staff permanently employed by the federal government for the state house in addition to the 133 personal aides. This would include bureaucrats, directors, security personnel, administrative staff, and cleaners. Indications are that this figure would be higher than that of the special aides since the State House has budgeted an additional N1.42 billion for the payment of salaries of these other staff this year.

The cost to the nation

The Nigeria Labour Congress is seeking a minimum wage of 18,000 naira for civil servants. The total sum used in paying the annual salary and allowances of the 133 presidential aides is N775, 207,125. This money will pay the basic salary of 3,600 civil servants. The money is also more than the Federal Ministry of Education needs this year to construct new schools (N202 million) and provide infrastructure in existing ones, including all the 103 unity schools (N102 million).

This money, even by government estimate, can construct 100-room hostels in each of the nation’s five first generation universities which will comfortably accommodate thousands of young undergraduates who have no place to sleep in our universities. (Cost of constructing a 25-room hostel is N41million.)

Between Jonathan and Yar’Adua

Investigations by NEXT indicate that Mr. Jonathan has more appetite for personal aides than his predecessor. After he was sworn-in in May 2010, following the death of Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, Mr. Jonathan retained almost all the special aides appointed by his late boss. But he has also appointed 57 new ones. In the nine months that he has been president, Mr. Jonathan has appointed a chief of staff, a deputy chief of staff, nine special advisers, 23 senior special assistants, 21 special assistants and two personal assistants.


The situation in other climes

In the United States, there are 470 employees working in the White House. But most of them are employees on permanent appointments who have worked there for years. President Barack Obama only appointed a handful of key advisers.

Similarly, in South Africa, according to the 2009 annual report of the presidency, President Jacob Zuma appointed only seven advisers while the remaining 582 members of staff were mostly career civil servants.

What the law says

Section 151 of the 1999 Constitution provides that, “The President may appoint any person as a Special Adviser to assist him in the performance of his functions.

“The number of such Advisers and their remuneration and allowances shall be as prescribed by law or by resolution of the National Assembly.

“Any appointment made pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be at the pleasure of the President and shall cease when the President ceases to hold office.”


By appointing such ridiculous number of aides, the president is building a brigade for the election. For instance, Bianca Ojukwu was appointed to capture APGA. His action shows that all he is saying about reforming the economy is an orchestra of deception. Can you reform the economy when you are increasing the recurrent expenditure profile instead of trying to limit it to enable you to have more funds for capital projects like the Mambilla power project? It’s wastage and this does not give confidence to investors. Foreign direct investment cannot come to a country with that level of wastefulness,” he said.

Response from the presidency

The Special Adviser to the President on Communications, Ima Niboro, wouldn’t comment on his boss’ penchant for appointing special aides. He did not respond to text messages and calls to his mobile telephone on the matter.

We are not xpecting him to treat himself we are just wondering why he needs 3 doctors and why there are up to 6 Doctors serving 3 people living and working in the same premises.

GEJ tolerates killing, he encourages corruption, he is helping criminals everyday. This is not the kind of young man we have been clamouring for to lead this nation out of the woods.

Thank God u are not the one. Y cant the whole Aso- Rock household share the Dotors like it is being practised in other countries, especially when GEJ should understand there are so many suffering people out there and there is a need to cut unnecessary and frivolous expenses like he is doing everyday.

No, he should use his salary to pay for his own clothes like the rest of us do. There is no justification for having full time staff to sow one man's clothes or any of this other nonsense. The fact that you can argue about that is amazing to me.

If i am the one, i will have 7 personal physicians to test whatever is to get into my system starting from water and 5 physicians for my check-ups

I hope you are never in a position of public trust then. People like you and Jonathan are the cancer that is killing Nigeria.

Forget it Solomon, Goodluck Jonathan is on call 24hrs a day and his docs can not be expected to do that for just him they have to be on shift also the president is not expecting checks only on malaria the doctors are experts in different practises, if you dont know there is an Aso rock clinic where these doctors also attend to other patients.

This propaganda does nothing to Jonathans ability to serve this nation properly , I still remember that it was \Yaradua who came up publicly to announce that the salaries of personal aides in the villa and himself and his ministers all took a salary cut including his aides

Well it is the beauty of democracy

I'm a doctor and I can tell you that there is no justification for three healthy people to have 6 full time doctors attending to them. And in a country like Nigeira were we have a serious shortage of doctors it is even more morally reprehensible. Also, the personal physician to the physician (who has the rank of a special adviser) definitely does not consult in the Aso Rock staff clinic. Only junior medical officers do that (I happen to know one of them.)

Of course it does! What are you saying?

You haven't addressed the main issue: Why does Jonathan need 133 aides? Why does he have 2 tailors on full time pay to sow his clothes? What does he use his massive salary for? And why the hell does his wife have even 1 government paid aide. Is she a government official? Are we now going to be appointing aides for the presidential dog? Or the presidential head-lice?

I feel you're only supporting GEJ because of blind fanboyism, ethnicity or some other parochial reason. You need to wake up and smell the bad odour. Your country's future is at stake.

Re: President Jonathan's 133 Aides by Nobody: 10:25pm On Feb 20, 2011
Most GEJ supporters do so on the basis of ethnic affiliation with little or no consideration for the future of the country. They just wanna vote him because he is from the SS, or because he bears Azikwe or because they don't want a Mallam at the helms of affair.
GEJ might be a good man with good intentions, but he is clueless on how to turn the country around. And to make matters worse, he is surrounded by hundreds of high corrupt evil men, men like OBJ, annenih etc. Men, whose sole objective is to amass incredible wealth to themselves.
I had registered just to vote for GEJ, but after carefully thinking abt it, I am definitely not voting anything PDP.
Why shd we vote a party that has been in power for close to 12 years and yet we don't ve steady power suppy, our health sector is in shambles. No facet of our society is any better. Yet the country is blessed with incredible human and natural resources.
GEJ supporters might wanna argue that their principal has only been in power for a little over a year, but you don't need eternal to demonstrate a good sense of purpose and direction, infact 12 months is too much.
Within the little time GEJ has been in power, we ve witnessed reckless government spending. Spending that defies all sound economic reasoning. Purchase of additional air-craft for the presindency, purchase of waste basket for the FCT, dodgy crude oil for refined fuel deal etc.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. After the last 12 years, anybody who willingly votes for the PDP needs to have his head examined.

200% correct. the party is made up of high level criminals. ppl who can operate even in hell as thieves. mention any name in pdp and i will tell u how criminal minded he is.
pdp have produced men and women of quality and quatity criminalities.
if there is any protest in nigeria today, it shld be against pdp. let them leave nigeria alone. there is no criminal in nigeria or criminal case in nigeria that is not pdp related.
the party is a show of shame. from their chairman to the last member, quality criminals. even unborn children of pdp are future criminals.
i hate the party with passion.

What experience has bukola saraki over Goodluck jonathan? Jonathan has been a deputy, governor, vice and now a president. But Bukola saraki should not play politics of calumny, deceit and pull him down syndrome because we don't take over power that way, all we need is good governance in Nigeria.

Anyway, your comment here is an afterthought, since you would retain 50doctors and 10 tailors while women who are in labour cannot get adequate medical attention

Why shd we vote a party that has been in power for close to 12 years and yet we don't ve steady power suppy, our health sector is in shambles. No facet of our society is any better. Yet the country is blessed with incredible human and natural resources.
GEJ supporters might wanna argue that their principal has only been in power for a little over a year, but you don't need eternal to demonstrate a good sense of purpose and direction, infact 12 months is too much.
Within the little time GEJ has been in power, we ve witnessed reckless government spending. Spending that defies all sound economic reasoning. Purchase of additional air-craft for the presindency, purchase of waste basket for the FCT, dodgy crude oil for refined fuel deal etc.
   correct point,but i stil prefer gej to buhari

I agree that some people need to have their heads checked if they prefer GEJ to others. An example of such people is joesbuba.
Abeg explain to us what logic is in your choice of GEJ, perhaps you may be able to win some souls to the side of your kleptomaniac benefactor, aka GEJ, !

In Cambodia, the term refers to high ranking female servants who served food and drink, fanned and massaged, and sometimes provided sexual services to the King. It is however not clear what Justin Adaba and Amina Iye Ahmadu do for Mrs. Jonathan.

Am not sure what they do for her. But if am to take a guess I will say that one or both performs sexual services, in relation to other functions. Afterall GEJ is on call 24hrs as one of his supporters rightly pointed out (and it will be suspicious if madam employ a guy for such SPECIAL duties).

I think our leaders suffer from ID10T's disease.
