APC chief asks Buhari to probe Patience Jonathan

Factional Chairman, All Progressives Congress in Bayelsa State,
Chief Perekeme Kpodo, has urged President Muhammadu
Buhari to beam his administration’s probe searchlight on former
First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan.
He said such a development would unravel the financial
excesses allegedly perpetrated by Patience in Abuja and
Bayelsa State.
Kpodo, former Interim Chairman of the defunct New Peoples
Democratic Party, stated this in an interview on Sunday.
He said, “There is the urgent need to probe the former First
Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, for her excesses during her
husband’s reign. Many of the ministers during the
administration of Goodluck Jonathan were her nominees and so
she should be investigated also.
“Her antecedents during and after the last general elections
must not be forgotten so easily. She was one of the people who
turned Aso Rock to a toll gate. The same thing happened to
Bayelsa State as treasury was looted. All these must not be
swept under the carpet. We are fully in support of President
Muhammadu Buhari on his probe.”
The former Special Adviser on Security in Bayelsa State
commended the President on how he had been steering the ship
of the country since he mounted the saddle of leadership,
stressing that Buhari would offer Nigerians the needed change
the party promised during its electioneering.
He said because of Buhari’s tough stance on corruption, many
would-be lobbyists for ministerial appointments were scared of
him.
Kpodo also applauded Buhari for the appointment of substantive
coordinator for Presidential Amnesty Programme for the Niger
Delta.
He said the gesture would tackle the rising agitation in the
region, particularly with the issue of payment of stipends to ex-
agitators and meeting the obligations of Niger Delta students on
amnesty scholarships abroad.
