Mrs. Patience Jonathan, wife of President Jonathan has come out to deny statements from Governor Rotimi Amaechi that she asked him to share the state's funds with her.
Governor Rotimi Amaechi while speaking on Saturday at a graduation ceremony said his problems with the first lady started when he refused to give her money in Abuja. ''The quarrel between me and the wife of the President is because she said I should bring your money, Rivers people money and share with her,” the governor reportedly said.
He said if he had done that, he would not have been able to carry out any meaningful projects in the state.
But a statement from Patience Jonathan's Media Assistant, Mr. Ayo Adewuyi stated that Governor Amaechi's statement was a deliberate attempt to score cheap political point and rubbish her person and the presidency.
