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.
