The first civilian Governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, has disclosed that the immediate past First Lady, Patience Jonathan, never wanted her husband, Goodluck Jonathan in politics.

He recalled Patience initially stood against the ex-president ambition as a deputy governorship candidate in 1998, ahead of the elections in 1999.

Alamieyeseigha at a banquet organised by the Bayelsa State Government, as part of programmes for a civic reception in honour of the former President at the Banquet Hall of Government House, Yenagoa, said Mrs Jonathan was satisfied with her husband’s progress at the defunct Oil Minerals Producing Areas Development Commission (OMPADEC), where he was an Assistant Director.
Jonathan was Alamieyeseigha’s deputy from 1999 to 2005, when he took over as governor after his boss was impeached over money laundering charges.

Alamieyeseigha told the audience that Mrs. Jonathan resisted the proposal which he and the current chairman, Governing Board of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Gordon Bozimo, had taken to him at their home in Port Harcourt.

The former governor said Jonathan visited him in his Port Harcourt residence a few days later and announced his decision not to accept the offer.

“Patience was not happy that Jonathan was chosen to be my deputy governor. She said she would not like him to go into politics. She said they were comfortable the way they were,” Alamieyeseigha added.

He said Jonathan was a complex character who “does not talk. He can keep something in mind for 10 years and will not talk and he will be playing with you.”

Alamieyeseigha however stressed that the former President did well in good governance in Nigeria and that he achieved a lot in different sectors of the economy.

“He rendered momentous service to the nation. His exploits and achievements are good enough for the young people to learn.

“If he can rise to that peak (of being President of Nigeria), then there are many Jonathans in this hall. His humble background and dint of hard work had taken him there.”

Patience Jonathan was not seen at the banquet.

It was gathered that she failed to attend over the alleged political differences between her and Governor Seriake Dickson.

She never wanted Jonathan into politics.. Probably because she didn't know how "sweet" it is to be in power..

Little wonder, she didn't support her husband's 2nd term bid.

Eyah, she knew she wont know how to be a first lady.

May God bless her for jonathan Shez a mother of peace

them she enjoyed the game most

This story is made in Bayelsa and for Bayelsa people too. Let them tell that to their people. We are not interested

Then she tasted the fruit,loved it and did everything to retain it.

Patience, Patience...someone needs to do a nollywood movie on this woman soon

Oh oh.. No wonder she almost killed herself jumping up and down during campaigns and rallys just for them to remain in power.... Mtchew

that's a lie

It is/was never by force...

This old politician should stop taking us backward.

It's time for serious business.

Aww

Oh sure she didn't want him in politics....
But when they did...it absolutely corrupted her!!!!!!
#Nkwasiasem!!!!

*Hehehehe, my belle o*

It is allowed to laugh like mad woman

Jokers!

She later on got carried away.
A place like Bayelsa doesn't have many important people? If u had to beg a jonathan to become deputy governor, I can imagine how the other people are

Gej is a curse, don't asj me why, ask alam and umoru!

.
He said Jonathan was a complex character who
“does not talk. He can keep something in mind
for 10 years and will not talk and he will be
playing with you.”

Such a person is not supposed to be a president in the first place,but he has already become one through his luck.

I wish him the best

This woman again!

Patience didn't want Jonathan to enter politics.
Jonathan was never interested in politics.


From this news and the ones before, something is very clear; GEJ never had the intention of ruling this country. Ladies and gentlemen, I think I've just cracked the reason for his lackluster and abysmal regime.

In history, most of the leaders that performed never got to the position by mistake. They've planned it all their lives. They've aspired to be a leader since they were young. That way, they've trained themselves and picked up leadership skills that will aid them in governing their subjects.

GEJ was never such leader. He was simply an opportunist. This is evidenced in some of his actions and utterances and his stead in handling some sensitive situations.


Now, there is nothing wrong in being an opportunist, but when the lives of thousand of people get wasted because of your inefficiency, it becomes a crime. He could have compensated for his lack of leadership skills by surrounding himself with competent people, but no, he preferred sycophants that will sing his praises to high heaven shielding him from the plight of the people. He allowed criminals to hijack his governance. He appointed goats to guard against our collective yam.

He might have had good intentions for this country, he was just never equipped for the number one position and the state of our economy at the moment has exposed him for what he really is; an incompetent leader.

I'm not here to comment. Na inside church I dey.

Have fun it Otuoke

NIGERIA FILLED WITH PEOPLE THAT PRETEND AS IF THEY KNOW, BUT ACTUALLY THEY DONT KNOW. RESULTING IN A CHAIN OF QUESTIONABLE BEHAVIOUR, BECAUSE OF IGNORANCE. JUST BECAUSE OF PRIDE TO OPEN UP TO ONE'S LIMITATION. IN FACT THE ROOT PROBLEM OF NIGERIA IS PRIDE. THINK ABOUT IT, YOU WILL SEE. AND PRIDE LEADS TO MANY NEGATIVE THINGS.
Even to fight for our right, many will retreat so as to appear as if all is well with him/her. Pride killing Nigeria since independence.

You hear names like, ''i better pass my neighbor generator'', you see a man living in rented apartment and drives a lincon navigator jeep. Blood money to get money to show yourself in the village. Nigerian dont like being corrected for doing wrong. We are known in other nations as people that are annoyingly proud. You will hear of a nigerian man that goes abroad and cant come home , becos he has not yet ''hammer''. Mechanics are poor people is our mentality. Furniture making is a low profile job. All these cant help us, pride brings abt hate, jealousy and disunity. Tribal, ethnic and religious conflicts. Humility result to greatness, its in the quran and bible. Nigerians its time we learn from the humble nature of a child, and reduce the way we tend to want to look grown up....fast.

sannmi1:
that's a lie

I agree with you.

However, once in it, she never wanted to let go.

And you who has been pardoned to serve, remember you still are a fugitive in the UK for jumping bail.

Atleast we can rest, assured that you will never travel to the West or US on any medical tourism or "well deserved rest". You would always be stuck in Nigeria with the people whose money you pillaged.

Mrs Diepreye Alamieyesiegha.

she never wanted, but got carried away by the pecks of office.
