Some concerned youths in Bayelsa State, under the auspices of the Bayelsa Youth Vanguard, have threatened to disrupt the Peoples Democratic Party presidential rally if President Goodluck Jonathan’s wife, Patience, comes with her husband for the campaign.
The rally is slated for February 5 at the state capital, Yenagoa.
The organisation therefore warned Patience not to accompany her husband to the presidential campaign.
It accused her of causing crisis in the state and warned her to desist from that or face the consequences.
The warning, the group said, was sequel to what it described as attempts by the President’s wife to destabilise the state and fuel needless crisis and political tension in the state.
The spokesperson for the BYV, Precious Ebi Johnson, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, said that Patience would only be allowed to come to the state “unless she retraced her steps or otherwise we will mobilise against the President’s rally.”
The statement read in part, “We are constrained to issue this statement to bar the President’s wife from accompanying President Goodluck Jonathan to Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, for the presidential rally on February 5.
“Our action is well informed by the various steps and activities of the President’s wife in recent times which portend clear danger for the good health of our dear state.
“We note with regret the various attempts by the President’s wife to create crisis in the state through subterfuge or using surrogates.
