"Stop Abusing my Husband!" - Dame Patience Jonathan Tells Nigerians
Category: Nigerian National News
Patience Jonathan, the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, today Tuesday 27th May 2014, advised Nigerians to desist from abusing her husband because God has made him the commander-in-chief of the nation.
According to Punch,
the wife of the President made this statement while addressing children
at an event she organized to celebrate kids on Children’s Day at the
Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa.
“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.
The Holy Bible is not referring to only
biological parents. Any one that is older than you even for a day must be respected. Let us therefore join hands and rebuild our country
Nigeria.” she said.
She also promised not to relent in
helping find the 200+ school girls abducted in the Chibok area of Borno.
“Let me thank the children that gave me 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 Chief of Defence Staff who will
submit your letter accordingly.
To my children parliament, 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 stated.
