  • Godknows Igali, chairman of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), has revealed that Patience Jonathan, the former first lady, begged her husband to make Nyesom Wike governor of Rivers State.

  • Igali claimed that Patience Jonathan rolled on the floor to persuade her husband, former President Goodluck Jonathan, and Edwin Clark, an influential south-south leader.

  • The revelation came amidst a rift between Wike, now the minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), and PANDEF.

Godknows Igali, chairman of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), has made a startling revelation about the role of Patience Jonathan, the former first lady, in the emergence of Nyesom Wike as governor of Rivers State.

Speaking on Focus Nigeria, a political programme on AIT, Igali claimed that Patience Jonathan begged her husband, former President Goodluck Jonathan, to make Wike governor.

According to Igali, “Patience Jonathan rolled on the floor to beg President Jonathan to make Wike governor at all costs. But it was the turn of someone from the riverine side. She begged. And she is alive.

Igali defended PANDEF, saying the delegation included senior traditional rulers, former governors, senators, and ministers.

He stated that it was “highly regrettable and totally unacceptable” that Wike would “exhibit such brazen disrespect towards individuals of this standing”.

“We used to organize retreats for new ministers, and one of the things we taught them was the code of ethics — to be ethical, to be decent. Not to behave, dance around, shout at people, and use the wrong words on elders. We are still Africans, for goodness’ sake,” Igali said.
