Insists GEJ isnt looking for anything again in politics
Contrary to speculations in some quarters, there are strong indications that former President, Goodluck Jonathan, would not bow to pressure to contest for the Presidency in 2027.
His wife and former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, gave this hint in Abuja, when she hosted Greater Igbo Forum (GIF) Worldwide, led by its President, Ambassador Lois Jonathan, when the group paid a courtesy visit on the former First Lady.
While responding to the group, Dame Patience Jonathan went down memory lane on the humble beginning of the former President of Nigeria until he got to the apogee of political office.
With hindsight, she submitted that her husband is not looking for any other thing in politics. My husband has been local government chairman, deputy governor, governor, vice President, President. What is he looking for again? We are not going in again, she quipped.
She opined that her husband will give 100 percent support to the President for the peaceful coexistence of the country. Whoever is there, we support 100% because of the sake of my country. We should love this country more than ourselves. Because if you dont love this country, what is the future of our children? Then our children dont have hope, she said.
Dame Jonathan also called on Ndigbo to always be united.
She urged love amongst the people as she stressed that development can only thrive in an environment where there is peace. She charged the organisation to put politics aside and project the genuine interest of the Igbo.
