Patience Jonathan Tells Nigerians To Stop Insulting Her Husband

The wife of the President, Dame Patience Jonathan, has advised Nigerians against the verbal darts they throw Mr. Goodluck Jonathan’s way through every available medium. Patience Jonathan made the admonition pretty clear as she hosted several kids on ‘Children’s Day’, Tuesday, at the banquet hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja. “It is bad to abuse our country and the President because God has made him the head. The Almighty God commands us to pray for our leaders. We therefore need to pray for the development of our country and the President. Remember that a child that abuses his father and mother is disobeying God’s commandment because the Bible says in Exodus 20:12 that you should honour your father and mother so that you may live long in the land that the Lord your God has given you,” she told the kids. The children handed the First Lady letters of protest addressed to President Goodluck Jonathan and Boko Haram, regarding the captured Chibok schoolgirls. Acknowledging the receipt of the letters, Patience Jonathan said; “Let me thank the children that gave me a letter to give Boko Haram. Well, I have received your letter, but I am not the one to give it to Boko Haram because I don’t know Boko Haram and I have never seen Boko Haram. But I will give it to the NSS or the Chief of Defence Staff who will submit your letter accordingly. “To my children, thank you for your letter. Thank you for your deliberation. I have received what you gave to me. I will make sure I pass it to the President because it is addressed to him and the other one is addressed to Boko Haram. That is why the two are different,” she added.
