The scenario is synonymous to the
elevator fight that ensued between American celebrated rapper Jazzy and
sister in-law Solange Knowles which broke the internet when the video was released few months back.
Yeah you read the caption right, the beautiful
and ever supportive First Lady of Nigeria, Dame Patience Jonathan according to
Aso Rock Grapevines recently reminded Petroleum Minister, Mrs. Dieziani Alison
Madueke of her ability to put her in check anytime she feels like.
The President’s wife we
authoritatively gathered slapped the petroleum minister recently when the two
powerful women ran into each other at the Presidential Villa for allegedly
shunning her even as her aides greeted the 1st lady.
The 1st lady we
learnt has encountered such scenarios on few occasions as the Petroleum
Minister is allegedly fond of looking away in pretence whenever the duo happens
to meet in any gathering unlike other Ministers who pay her homage everytime.
A lot of the people close to
presidency believed Dieziani holds the key to the President’s heart and this
explains her unimaginable behavour towards those who are not her loyalists in
the Presidency, National Assembly as well as her colleagues.
An experiment of this could be
traced to how she shook off the ex Aviation Minister Stella Odua, who unknown
to many had a fierce battle with her, as they both occupy different spaces in
the heart of the president and were always trying to witch hunt each other.
nother clear reason why Dieziani is arguably
the most powerful is the blunt refusal of president Jonathan to get her sacked
despite all facts pointing towards her excessive ways of squandering the
nation’s oil money, acquiring private jets, several oil rigs and vessels.
Insiders at the Villa also
narrated that the First Lady after the embarrassing scenario has been advised
by the President’s mother to ignore Dieziani for the sake of her husband’s
reputation and 2nd term ambition as efforts to get His Excellency to
relieve her of her duty has been abortive.
We hope the minister gets to read
this and give respect to whom its due if there is any iota of truth in the
information as efforts to reach her was abortive as at press time.
