As the countdown to the 2015 elections continues, President Goodluck Jonathan’s kinsmen have advised him to ensure that members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State are in one accord.

The advice was given by a Bayelsa State-based group, Concerned Bayelsa Elders (CBE), during a media briefing with some senior editors in Lagos on Saturday on the issues threatening the party in the president’s home state.

The group’s leader, Elder John Ebeletimi Wilson, in a speech, said, “Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Jonathan, who is our brother, ought to be coasting home to an easy election victory in 2015. But he is not so sure, as it stands today. As a veteran of many political battles, Jonathan seems to have run foul of the touchstone of African politics, which is to secure the home front, as charity must begin at home.”

The visibly angry CBE leader’s worry is that the main opposition, the All Progressives Congress (APC), is poised to cash in on the overbearing attitude of Dame Patience Jonathan and her role in the state PDP.

According to Wilson, “This may sound ironical, but as it stands presently, except something urgent is done, APC may not know that their best ally is Dame Patience Faka Jonathan, the all-conquering wife of the president, who literally transverses the corridors of power in her distinctive gait and retinue of aides. Our worry is further compounded, as the opposition’s mission to unseat the president appears to be facilitated by the cannon fodder provided by his wife.”

He said, “A quick analysis of the bad press received by the president reveals that over 60 per cent of the negative reports about the president in the mainstream media have links to the actions and pronouncements of his beloved wife.”

He further explained that on social media, posts relating to the Jonathans are ever trending in different categories, “They include jokes, politics and security, as well as the economy and even religion in a ratio of 8:2; while 80 per cent of such are attributable to Mrs. Jonathan, while a paltry 20 per cent goes to Mr. President.
Consequently, there is an enormous amount of avoidable collateral damages being done to the Jonathan brand, as the clock ticks towards the all-important Valentine Day polls.”

He further explained that, in Bayelsa State, the governor’s tenure will not end until February 2016, yet the atmosphere is as charged as if the elections are imminent. The reason they gave is that Mrs. Jonathan is allegedly at war with Governor Seriake Dickson, for reasons they cannot understand, moreso as Dickson has remained one of the most loyal to the president, just as he has within three years transformed the state in areas of infrastructure development and security that have placed the state as an investors’ haven.

For him, “What we find difficult to understand is why Mrs. Jonathan is at daggers drawn with a performing governor, and to have chosen the eve of her husband’s re-election to start pulling the rug off the feet of Governor Dickson, instead of allowing the young man to focus on helping her husband to get re-elected!”

A President who can't tame his wife's meddlesomeness in political affairs is not fit to lead......



Nigeria deserves a serious-minded leader at this time of political,economic/security catastrophes of our dear Country

well, i don't know how true this is but i think i should hav been better onvein to him directly in person by the group.

The truth remains that the damage done to this administration is facilitated by the president's poor handling of his beloved wife's excesses and same of his aides.

Even his people are complaining. Its hard to understand how in 6years things have become these horrible. Imagine 208naira to 1dollar that is just disgraceful.all I know is these is the last chance we have to correct the mistake we made 4years ago. Vote out cluelessness and let's see the corrupt men out of power. Vote 4 change. Its about the people and our future as a united country. We believe in the intellectual minds tha surround buhari. Not the sambo or mama peace and co

SAI BUHARI, the prof and the team of effective and reliable nigerians that are demanding for a better country.

The time is now. Happy sunday to you all

Are you agreeing with those that have been saying that she's more like the "husband" in the marriage, while he's more like the "wife"?

This is just the reason why I support the total scrapping of the office of the first lady. I am a woman but when a fellow woman of mine is trying to pull down and destroy her husband's chances of getting re-elected by her actions,then her office deserves to be scrapped.
Mama Piss should be involved in pet projects like her predecessors that will bring legacies instead of meddling in political affairs and bringing shame to her under performing husband.

Most powerful of the five Presidents we have...This woman as it stands is GEJ greatest undoing in the political sphere...

God know say I go miss DAMN PEJ welllllll wellllllll. Who one come dey entertain us.

If AY, Basketmouth, Bovi and others WISE dem go dey invite go their shows I swear I go pay for the show. If she fit make white woman do SKIT den are career in comedy is solid.

wat ever de case may be, God who put him there knows best
