First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has described recent allegation that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governorship candidate in Rivers State, Barrister Nyesom Wike, has been paying her $1M every month as laughable. Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Ameachi raised the allegation on Sunday.
DAILY POST recalls that Governor Amaechi had claimed that Wike, a former Minister of State for Education, had been paying $1m (N199m) monthly to Mrs. Jonathan. He added that he had been doing that to gain political favour from the president’s wife.
However, Mrs. Jonathan, speaking through her media aide, Mr. Ayo Adewuyi, in an interview with the Punch, said there was no truth in the claim.
According to Adewuyi, Amaechi’s claim is laughable and ridiculous; adding that nothing short of that was expected from Amaechi.
He said: “The allegation that the First Lady is collecting money from Chief Wike monthly is laughable and ridiculous.
“You cannot but hear things like this from someone who is home alone.”
It would be recalled that Wike had earlier denied the claim.
