3Billion to approve a budget of how much?
While I don't believe the story and it's antecedents.

This Patience lady should stay in one place, Her overbearing influence on the executive arm would warrant such insinuations.

Anyways, GEJ till I.......

Wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, on Monday denied a media report (not THE PUNCH) that she was paid N3billion by the Niger Delta Development Commission to facilitate the agency’s 2015 Budget.

The report had claimed that apart from the sum, Mrs. Jonathan collaborated with a former Minister of State for Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, in a number of schemes that enabled them loot the resources of the NDDC.

But the President’s wife, in a statement by her media assistant, Ayo Adewuyi, described the report as hoax.

Adewuyi further said the report was aimed at misleading unsuspecting members of the public and recruit them into their hate campaign against Mrs. Jonathan.

He added that the step was meant to again portray her as an overbearing and intrusive woman against her well known passion for peace and advancement of the cause of women and children in Nigeria.

The statement read, “Nigerians are very conversant with the workings of the National Assembly regarding passage of Budgets.

“Parliamentary process requires that the Appropriation Bill goes through first reading, second reading and third reading and subsequent harmonisation by the two chambers.

“One then wonders at which level of this process the First Lady influenced the passage of NDDC Budget that warranted her being paid N3billion for the alleged ‘Consultancy.’

“Therefore, it will be impossible for one single person to influence its passage or is the author trying to indict our lawmakers?

“The report is therefore, to say the least, dubious, diversionary, unfair, unkind, and totally unacceptable. Dame Patience Jonathan did no such thing.”

This woman is nothing but a stain in Gej's administration. She has ignorantly abused the power and dignity of her office by engaging in politics. Engaging in politics is not even the problem, but turning herself to a dictator. Let somebody clip her wings. Whether the allegation is true or false, it's such an awful thing to hear that the first lady of a country engages in bribery. Her deportment is sending a wrong signal not to the women alone but to other first lady of the states. Meanwhile, Ikengawo, why haven't you replied my message or are you tired of defending the heavenly annointed clueless one that Stealing is not corruption?

If this story is true, from my calculation; #400bn - #3bn = #397bn. The remaining cash left is big enough to pay salary. APC propaganda on the move.
