Patience, wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, says she will not be relocating to Bayelsa state to perform the duties of a permanent secretary, in line with her new appointment.
Mrs. Jonathan was on Wednesday appointed a Permanent Secretary in the Bayelsa state civil service by the state Governor, Seriake Dickson. She was appointed alongside 17 other senior civil servants in the state.
But unlike the others, she will hold her office in absentia, Mrs Jonathan told PREMIUM TIMES through her spokesperson, Ayo Osinlu.
"She is on leave of absence," Mr. Osinlu said. "She is not going to function in the office of the permanent secretary in Bayelsa state."
Ms. Jonathan however, is apparently delighted at the appointment as her spokesman argued that she had no cause to publicly accept or decline the appointment.
