2nd Term: First Lady Campaigns For Jonathan In Abia

At a civic reception organised in honour of Nigeria’s
first lady, by the Ohuhu clan, her maternal home in Umuahia North Local
Government Area of Abia State today, Mrs Jonathan urged women to vote for
politicians who have the interests of women at heart and also urged them to
vote massively for her husband.

According to her, despite the challenges and oppositions
facing the Jonathan administration, he has done quite very well. “He has met the 35 per cent Affirmative Action for the
appointment of women into political positions in the country, she stated.

“The President has done a lot to tackle the developmental
needs of the nation, in spite of the challenges and opposition against his administration.

“Let us take advantage of our numerical strength to vote for
the re-election of the President, because more Nigerian women had been
appointed to political offices by Jonathan’s administration than past
administrations.

“Nigerian women should no longer go back to the kitchen. It
is not our portion to go back to the kitchen.

“We have women that are capable. We can contribute our quota
to the development of Nigeria.

“We women are suffering but God will see us through,” she
said.
