The First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan has slammed former Petroleum Minister, Chief Dan Etete over a statement reportedly credited to the elder statesman. Etete is said to have reportedly cautioned the wife of the President to stop interfering in the internal politics of the state. This statement was reportedly made at Etete’s 70th birthday which held last weekend at Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital.
Responding to this, the First Lady’s media aide, Mr. Ayo Adewuyi said there was no truth in the claim that she is witch-hunting the governor.According to him, “People are just heating up the polity unnecessarily because Dickson is not even contesting this year. So, where is the anxiety of alleged plan of removal coming from? The First Lady is not witch-hunting anybody. We have said it many times that she is not a party official that endorses candidates for elections. They must be afraid unnecessarily because they are aware of her mobilisation strength. It is unfortunate that an elder statesman can be making claims without proper investigation. He must be trying hard to curry favour from some quarters.”
