Chibok 200+: Patience Jonathan To Lead Protest In Borno

Wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, has expressed her willingness to lead a protest in Chibok, Borno, to call for the release of the abducted schoolgirls by some terrorists who seized them some days ago. The First Lady revealed this in Abuja after a meeting with the wives of state governors, ministers, female senators, commissioners and over other 200 women drawn form different groups.

The meeting was held at the State House in Abuja and Patience vowed to lead the protest if the children were not released by their kidnappers.

She also stated that another meeting would hold on Sunday where wives of all relevant stakeholders would be present. The First Lady also added that a committee to seek the truth as women would be set up.

“If any of those we call refuse to come, we will take the protest to Chibok. I do not mind being shot as long as they return our girls to us safely, we are tired of the kidnapping,” the President’s wife fumed.

She also disclosed that First Ladies from other countries have expressed their willingness to help. “They intimated me of their readiness to help, they also asked me questions that I could not answer and as women, we are the last hope of this nation. We cannot fail our fellow women and the nation. If need be, we will call on the northern elders to help us so that our children and husbands will not die,” the First Lady said.
