The first lady is said to have vacated her position in the state Ministry of Education voluntarily but reports have it that her resignation might be connected with a rift between her and the state Governor, Seriake Dickson.
The governor and the first lady are said to have disagreed over the former’s ambition to be re-elected as governor for a second term.
Mrs. Jonathan was appointed as a permanent secretary in July 2012 leading to widespread criticism about her playing dual roles and being unsuitable for the position.
A ministry source reportedly said:
“The whole thing is political. It appears Madam Peace is not happy with the governor. With her resignation, the battle-line has been drawn.”
She is 57 years old having 3 more years before the age of retirement
However, reports have it that the first lady’s terminal benefits and pension won’t be affected by her resignation as they are already being prepared.
