Mrs Jonathan at the event |
Dame Patience Jonathan
has emphasized the need for Nigerians to love themselves and to give peace a
chance, stressing that all the development people crave for would not be
achieved in the midst of violence.
She stated this yesterday during the South- East Widows Empowerment Programme organized by 4J-2015 held in Awka ,Anambra State. She also dwelled on the need to show love to widows and
their children, urging those who still engage in practices that are harmful to
widows and children to desist from such, especially women who usually accused
their brothers’ wives of killing their husbands.
She said: “If
you see a widow, show her love, care for her and her children and do not add to
her pains. Love yourselves and share what you have with others. Umuada should
stop traditions that maltreat widows and be peacemakers. Women, let us show
ourselves love.” She concluded
Also
billionaire businessman, Prince Arthur Eze also at the event said Nigerian
politicians are criminals and greedy
human beings.
Eze’s bombshell
came just as Nigeria’s First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, said that the Nigerian
nation would not achieve its desired development without peace and love.
Speaking at the
South- East Widows Empowerment Programme organized by 4J-2015 For Jonathan,
held at the Alex Ekwueme Square Awka, Prince Eze who is the founder of 4J and
convener of the programme, which was in conjunction with Dame Jonathan’s Women
for Change and Development Initiative, said most Nigerian politicians do not
care about the plight of the populace, especially the less privileged and
widows.
He said, “I am
happy that this thing is happening while I am still alive. It is Dame Jonathan
that asked to gather together all of you widows in the South East who have been
suffering since the defunct Biafran Republic and civil war in Nigeria. She is
concerned about your sufferings and has promised to assist you with empowerment
items. She has also promised to build industries for you, where you will work
and earn a living. I am doing this because our politicians do not care, they
are criminals, and they are greedy. But President Jonathan is not like that,
he is humane and listens to the cries of poor Nigerians and has been working
hard to ameliorate their sufferings. With what our Mama Peace is helping us to
do, your tears will be wiped away.”
He noted that
President Jonathan was being pursued all about for no just cause, adding that
Boko Haram was also fighting him because of the Igbo, but assured the President
that Ndigbo are solidly behind him and would give him 100 per cent votes
