Aisha Buhari is My Sister, I will Support Her – "Patience Jonathan"

Nigerian Outgoing First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has pledged to support the wife of the President-elect, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, in any of her projects that would better the country.

 Mrs. Jonathan gave the assurance at the inauguration of the Defence and Police Officers Wives Association Skills Acquisition Centre, in Abuja yesterday.

The First Lady explained that her husband was able to complete his four-year tenure in office with ease because of the support he got from the military and security chiefs in the country.

 She lauded the service chiefs and the women association for their support for the President, especially during the Boko Haram insurgency, and urged them to sustain the patriotic efforts.

 She further called on Nigerian to pray for the security chiefs to ensure that their efforts were successful. “I want to thank all the Service Chiefs and all women associations for their support for the President and my office. “You have really sacrificed a lot to ensure Nigeria is safe.

Don’t be tired but ensure that Nigeria is safe. Pray for their success in finally keeping the nation safe,” she added.

On the incoming government, Mrs. Jonathan said, “I will make sure that I support my sister, the incoming First Lady to make sure Nigerian women are safe”.
