FIRST LADY OPENS UP ON RIFT WITH RIVERS STATE GOVERNOR.

Nigeria's First Lady Dame Patience

Wife of   President Goodluck  Jonathan,  Patience Jonathan has opened up on the  crisis involving the Rivers State governor and herself. She told 16 bishops from the South-South, who visited her at the Presidential Villa, that her misunderstanding with Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, started about four years ago in Anyugubiri in Okrika when she appealed to him  to engage  her people in dialogue instead of  demolishing  a part of their community.

Dame Patience Jonathan  said the governor, whom she described as   “hot tempered,” did not only ignore her advice,  he went  a step further  by  sacking the chairman of  the  local government for holding a reception in her honour. According to her, Amaechi also imposed a   curfew on the community, which is where she hails from.

Although the President’s wife told the visiting bishops that  she had since committed the Rivers  crisis to God,  she  decided to open up for the first time on it so that they  could pray to God to touch Amaechi’s heart.

Masquerade234 also gathered that governor Rotimi Amaechi is presently in a fight for his political life as he is engaged in so many political battle in Rivers State.
