Former militants in the Niger Delta have called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to leave Mrs. Patience Jonathan, wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, alone. The ex-agitators described the prosecution of Mrs. Jonathan as a ploy to ridicule the people of the oil-rich region. “Why should Dame Jonathan be the target for harassment and public ridicule? “The target on Dame Patience Jonathan is aimed at ridiculing the people of the region, which produces the bulk of our nation’s wealth. President Muhammadu Buhari should caution the EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, immediately.”Copyright PUNCH.
