Patience Jonathan Appointed as Permanent Secretary in Bayelsa State

The announcement would surely take many by surprise. The surprise stems more from the fact that not many people know or consider the nation’s First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, a career civil servant.

Indeed, until she became the wife of the then Vice-President, Goodluck Jonathan, not much was known or heard of the First Lady.

As the wife of the governor of Bayelsa State, and thus the First Lady of the state, Mrs Jonathan operated more under the shadow of her husband, and so was not exactly visible. But all that is in the past.

Now, she is an engaging national personality, what with her idiosyncrasies which have defined and endeared her to many Nigerians.
