Few weeks to the
commencement of the 2015 general elections, indications have emerged that First
Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, may
have struck a deal to make former Governor of Bayelsa State and chieftain of
All Progressive Congress (APC), Chief
Timipre Slyva to represent Bayelsa East in the Senate. Also eyeing the same
seat is the PDP candidate and Silverbird CEO, Ben Bruce.
Sources said Mrs. Jonathan has reportedly assured Slyva of ‘military and police
protection’ during the senatorial election. In return, a source told online
media close to The Gist Plus that Sylva had agreed to help the First Lady’s
political godson and Presidential Assistant on Domestic Matters, Dr. Weripamowei Dudafagh unset Gov. Seriake Dickson next year. The
First Lady’s political romance with Slyva has reportedly unsettled PDP leaders
in the state, who view the move as the height of anti-party activities.
