Patience Jonathan Praises Tinubu’s Attention to the South-South, Sparks Debate

Former First Lady Patience Jonathan has praised President Bola Tinubu’s administration for what she described as greater attention to the South-South region. In a video circulating online, she said the current government was the first to remember the region. The remark has sparked debate, especially because her husband, ყოფილი President Goodluck Jonathan, led Nigeria from 2010 to 2015. While some critics question whether her comment reflects poorly on past governments, others believe she was referring to particular projects, appointments or interventions under the Tinubu administration. The statement has also renewed discussion about federal development in the oil-producing Niger Delta ahead of the 2027 elections.
