The First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, has advised
Nigerian youths not to undermine the importance of
education, saying without education, she would not
have BECOME the first lady of the country.
Speaking at a rally of the women wing of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in Akure, the Ondo State
capital Tuesday, the first lady accused the
presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), of “not
carrying the women along” when he was head of state
– unlike President Goodluck Jonathan “who has
empowered women.”
According to an online news medium, TheCable, Mrs
Jonathan added: “Majority of the people of Ondo are
educated and I believe you know the importance of
education because without education there is no
future,” she said.
“Our children are our hope and that’s why Jonathan
said the children should be made to be the leaders of
today. We should thank God for the administration of
Goodluck and the PDP.
“If somebody is talking and you are not educated, can
you be there? If Hilary Clinton is talking and you are
not educated, can you be there? As Mimiko (governor
of Ondo) is there, without education can he be there?
As I am standing before you, if I am not educated, will
they CHOOSE me?
“That is why the PDP government takes education very
seriously.”
