This was as a result of the warning statement issued against the Wife of the President - Patience Jonathan by the angered Bayelsa Youth where she was warned not to come to Bayelsa State to avoid embarrassment.
Mrs. Jonathan, who spoke through her media assistant, Ayo Adewuyi, was reacting to statements by some youth groups threatening to disgrace her if she attends the grand rally of the Peoples Democratic Party in Yenagoa on February 5.
Two youth groups – Bayelsa Youth Vanguard and the Mangrove Boys of Bayelsa – had, in different statements, issued in Abuja and Yenagoa, barred the President’s wife from accompanying her husband to the rally in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital.
The youths, who accused Mrs. Jonathan of instigating political crisis in the state and working against Governor Seriake Dickson, had vowed to embarrass and disgrace her at the rally.
But the spokesman for the President’s wife described the groups as faceless.
He said Mrs. Jonathan would not be cowed into avoiding any part of the country because of threats from such groups.
Meanwhile, the Bayelsa State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Valentine Ntomchukwu, has issued a warning to some youth groups threatening to disgrace the wife of the President if she attends the grand rally of the PDP on February 5.
Ntomchukwu, while addressing a select journalists in Yenagoa on Thursday, urged members of the public to disregard the threat, saying it was the handiwork of some faceless groups.
He said the police would provide adequate security for the President’s wife and other political groups visiting the state for rallies, campaigns and legitimate businesses. He also asked the Bayelsa Youth Vanguard (BYV) and the Mangrove Boys of Bayelsa (MBB) to desist from making such provocative and inciting statements, which he said, were capable of puncturing the existing peace in the state.
