Patience Jonathan
resigns as 'Super' Permanent Sec. in Bayelsa…
Dame
Patience Jonathan has resigned her appointment as 'Super' Permanent Secretary
in the Bayelsa state Civil service, a position conferred on her in July 2012 by
the Governor of the state, Dickson Seriake. Seriake said he gave the
appointment to Mama Peace based on her good service to the state and nation.
A
source in the state Ministry of Education who pleaded anonymity with The Nation
confirmed the First Lady's voluntary resignation and said her resignation may
likely not be unconnected to her deepening rift with the state governor.
"The
whole thing is political. It appears Madam Peace is not happy with the
governor. With her resignation, the battle line has been drawn. I feel the
President’s wife resigned to enable her to have the moral right to slug it out
with Dickson ahead of the governorship poll in the state. Let no one deceive
you, the whole thing is politics. After all, she is 57 and the retirement age
is 60.” he said
The
source also said that all her terminal benefits are been processed at the
moment.
