Dame Patience Jonathan, wife of President
Goodluck Jonathan, has faulted the calls in
some quarters for the scraping of the office
of the First Ladies, arguing that “First Ladies
have made profound contributions to the
development of Nigeria.”
Mrs. Jonathan said this in Umuahia, Abia
State while speaking at the grand civic
reception in her honour by her maternal
kinsmen of the Ohuhu clan in Sunday.
She said contrary to opinions and wrong
impressions by some people, First Ladies
played essential roles in moving the country
forward, adding that those behind the calsl
might not have appreciated the good parts
being played by First Ladies.
The wife of the President recalled that she
had, through her office, touched positively on
the lives of many Nigerian women and
youths, adding that in the same vein many
governors’ wives had also impacted positively
on the lives of people in their various states.
She maintained that First Ladies all over the
world played supportive roles which, she
noted, were very germane for the successes
recorded by their husbands.
