Culled from Dailypost...First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has explained why she shunned the Rivers State Deputy Governor, Mr. Tele Ikuru, at the Port Harcourt airport recently. According to Mrs. Jonathan, her reason was not unconnected to the refusal of senior officials of the Rivers State Government to pay her a condolence visit when she lost her foster mother.
The First Lady said she was disappointed that the Rivers State government could not send any delegation from the state despite the fact that several groups and individuals from across the country came to commiserate with her.
Mrs. Jonathan said this in a statement issued by her spokesman, Mrs. Ayo Adesugba.
She was reacting to media reports that she shunned Ikuru, Rivers State Deupty Governor when she arrived at the Port Harcourt airport during the weekend.
The bereaved President’s wife added that she decided to make her visit to the state unannounced in order not to attract the attention of those she described as mischief makers, as she would prefer to stay off the ongoing political tussle in the state.
