What do Jonathan and wife want in Bayelsa? - The Nation Newspaper

Not many Nigerians will contest the position that former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan is one of the luckiest men in the political history of Nigeria. The Otuoke born university lecturer, who later became a Deputy Director of the defunct Oil Mineral Producing Development Commission had no inkling of what political destiny and exposure awaited him when he was prodded to wade into the political space in Bayelsa.

In spite of the monumental goodwill that was put at the disposal of Jonathan, the former President has a character flaw which eventually opened the floodgate of detrimental political events that got to the painful denouement of his political defeat by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015. Precisely, Jonathan suffered a shocking loss of prized relationships considered invaluable to the health of his political career because the overbearing influence of his wife and former First Lady, Mrs.

Again, a cursory look at Jonathan’s relationships with his political benefactors from 1999 to date would readily show that the former President is not blessed with the virtue of gratitude. First, Alamieyeseigha, the man who destiny used to usher Jonathan to the political terrain, died in penury and lamentation while Jonathan held sway as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The attempt to remove Dickson from the ballot in 2011 was foiled by the Federal High Court presided over by Justice Gladys Olotu. Today, Olotu is alive to tell the story of the venomous reaction of Patience Jonathan who exploited the vast influence of her office under Jonathan to sack her from the judiciary. Sadly, in the case of Olotu, it was even Jonathan that approved the compulsory retirement of the judge.

The lack of decisive action and the tendency of clandestine support for evil turned former President, Chief Olusegun, Obasanjo who played a key role in Jonathan’s emergence as Vice President, to fall out with him. An embittered Obasanjo shocked the Nigerian nation when he wrote Jonathan a letter titled “Before it is too late” on December 2, 2013.
