News Reports Suggests First lady held meeting with Rivers security chiefs over Amaechi

Many would have been surprised that President Goodluck Jonathan travelled to South Africa on a state visit and left his wife behind. Usually, Patience Jonathan, the first lady, accompanies the president during foreign visits, even on working visits.

It turned out that she had an important task to perform back home if some reports about the matter are to be believed.

The first lady staunchly denies this, but there are reports that she was in Bayelsa where she held a meeting with some security chiefs serving in Rivers state.
