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.
