Patience Jonathan not flown abroad, visits FCT minister                                   

                                              




















CONTRARY to reports in a section of the media, the wife of the president, Mrs Patience Jonathan, was not flown abroad for medical treatment, as she paid a visit to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Senator Bala Mohammed, to commiserate with him over the death of his brother.
It was reported at the weekend that the First Lady was secretly moved out of Abuja almost a week ago to a German hospital for treatment, quoting Presidency sources.
However, Mrs Jonathan showed up at Mohammed’s residence at about 6.00 p.m on Sunday, barely two days after the report, accompanied by wives of some National Assembly members as well as other politicians.
She wore a flowing black gown and said she came to commiserate with the minister on the death of his elder brother, Mallam Yusuf Baba.
The obviously excited minister, who described the visit as symbolic, condemned the section of the press which, he said, had become political and biased.
He said the wife of the president could not have been sick as, according to him, she looked resplendent.
The minister alleged that the report on the health of Mrs Jonathan was concocted by mischief makers who did not wish the president and the nation well.
“Our mother cannot be sick. She is here resplendent; she is here beautifully standing tall above all mischief makers. She will continue to give us guidance and leadership,” he said.
Earlier, Mrs Jonathan had recalled the contribution of the late Yusuf to the development of the Old Bauchi Province when he was the Secretary to the Bauchi State Government.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
