**Yimu.. This sort of news makes you wonder why you voted Dame Patience's hubby as president, no? Who does a thing like this, appoint the First Lady of a country as Permanent Secretary of a state. Goes to show how our common wealth may never be freed up for the common man to benefit from, cos these humans will never let go of the power we foolishly gave to them. Read story below:

Wife of Nigeria’s President, Dame Patience Jonathan, has recorded history as
the First Lady of the country to be appointed Permanent Secretary in a state
civil service. Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State approved her appointment and
seventeen others into the state civil service on Wednesday in Yenagoa, the state
capital.
Also prominent among those appointed is Linnet Tebepah, wife of the current
Chairman of NDDC, Tarilah Tebepah. Head of Service, Gloria Izonfuo who signed the announcement broadcast on the
state radio station, 91.7 Glory FM, stated that by the constitutional power
conferred on the governor in section 203 (2) (c) , Jonathan’s wife and seventeen
others had been elevated to the position of Permanent Secretaries in the state
civil service.
