The cold ward between First Lady, Patience Jonathan and the Governor of
Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson is yet to end as the former outrightly shunned a
meeting between her husband and the elders from Bayelsa led by Dickson.
Dickson and the elders were at the president’s residence in the Aso
Rock Villa, Abuja, to congratulate him on his 57th birthday and were billed to
be received by the president and his wife, but she snubbed them as soon as they
entered.
Members of the National Assembly from Bayelsa State were also absent
during the visit of the Dickson-led delegation to the president.
President Jonathan, while thanking the delegation for the honour done
him, explained that his wife had just left before their arrival.
“On behalf of my wife who just left, let me sincerely thank you, the
governor, the government and our traditional rulers and our brothers and
sisters from the state who have done this (visited him)”.
Dickson told Jonathan that the state was stable and peaceful.
“Your Excellency, I want to assure
you that there is peace in your state. Your state is peaceful, your state is
stable. We are at peace with ourselves and we are at peace with the rest of
Nigerians”, Dickson said.
