The first lady of Nigeria,Dame Patience Jonathan is known for a number of things,both for the wrong and right reasons.After all,nobody can deny her generousity.She said her husband is also the husband of other Nigerian women.So i expect her not to complain when she hears any funny talks about hubby.Also,her sense of unity is not in doubt.Why not,when she has been urging Nigerians to enter the 'umblerra'.We cannot fault her sense of sympathy.No wonder she calls the widows "my fellow widows"!
On a rather serious note,her recent statement in Abia State has made her public dressing down of Rivers State Governor,Rotimi Amaechi,last year look ordinary.While in Abia State on a rally,the 'daughter of the state' reportedly said that whether the citizens of the state voted in the forth-coming election or not,the governor,Chief T.A Orji must rule the state,come what may.All who were present were left with mouth agape.
Now,Abians have been made to look foolish.They now fear their votes may not actually count.That would be regrettable,because the president of the country is an advocate of one man one vote,or so it seems.
People are beginning to wonder whether the president does,or can,talk to his wife at all.All these statements are doing a few damages to him,or so it seems.
I just pray my vote counts on that day,else i do it where it would count:
Kaduna!
