Punch reports that the First Lady of Nigeria made her
position known on March 14, Saturday, during the
Peoples Democratic Party women rally held in Benin,
Edo state.
Dame Patience, who was accompanied by the PDP
national and state leaders, arrived at the Samuel
Ogbemudia Stadium, venue of the rally, at about
1.30pm.
The event was marked by an unfortunate situation as
the two purportedly aggrieved youths from the PDP
tore down some banners with the image of the
president’s wife.
The two where removed from the venue by the local
security.
Addressing women, Mrs Jonathan explained why her
husband must stay in the office for another term. She
was quoted as saying by The Nation:
“Everybody is staying there for eight years. Now it’s
our turn. We must complete our eight years. It is a
constitution of this country. We will complete our two
tenure and hand over.
“I am a peaceful person and I preach peace
anywhere I go. They are looking for fight, they are
looking for war. They are troublesome people. That is
why they went and take expired drugs.
“Now they are crying. They are the people stoning
people and nobody talk. They are dragging stadium
but me I am ready to go to the street and do my
campaign.
“The president is building schools. That is why in the
whole federation when he came in, he built
universities in every state. He built federal
universities so that our children should go and learn.
“Goodluck has built uncountable hospitals, primary
health centres. He equipped primary health centres,
trained doctors and nurses.
