Patience Jonathan resigns as 'Super' Permanent Sec. in Bayelsa

Dame Patience Jonathan has resigned her appointment as 'Super'
Permanent Secretary in the Bayelsa state Civil service, a position
conferred on her in July 2012 by the Governor of the state, Dickson
Seriake.
Seriake said he gave the appointment to Mama Peace based onher good
service to the state and nation.

A source in the state Ministry of Education who pleaded anonymity with
The Nationc onfirmed the First Lady's voluntary resignation and said
her resignation may likely not be unconnected to her deepening rift
with the state governor.

"The whole thing is political. It appears Madam Peace is not happy
with the governor. With her resignation, the battle line has been
drawn.I feel the President's wife resigned to enable her to have the
moral right to slug it out with Dickson ahead of the governorship poll
in the state. Let no one deceive you, the whole thing is politics.
After all, she is 57 and the retirement age is 60." he said

The source also said that all her terminal benefits are been processed
at the moment.
