EACH time the wife of the President,
Patience Jonathan, hits the road with her long motorcade, including

an event, drivers and commuters who find themselves on her routes always

empty the roads of traffic, forcing drivers to wait as her glamorous
convoy drifts by, motorists are trapped in traffic for hours on end,
while social and economic life of the affected community is brought to a
halt abruptly.
