Your Wife Is Just A Domestic Appendage; Angry Prof Soyinka Lambasts Jonathan

Nigeria's foremost human rights activists, Professor Wole Soyinka and Femi Falana (SAN), on Thursday came down heavily on President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Dame Patience; describing the first lady in particular as a "mere domestic appending of power" who should stop meddling in governance.

Prof Soyinka and Falana lambasted President Jonathan for:

Engineering the chaos rocking Rivers State House of Assembly. The professor particularly said it is obvious that Jonathan and his wife are using the security apparatus to intimidate Governor Rotimi Amaechi. 

They also called on the police hierarchy to remove and prosecute the commissioner of police in Rivers state, Joseph Mbu for role in the saga.

An infuriated Soyinka also asked the media to stop paying attention to the so-called newly elected speaker of Rivers state, Evans Bipi, describing the man as "a clown".

Prof Soyinka and Falana addressed the Press on the show of shame in Rivers State on Thursday.
