Nigeria’s First Lady Patience Jonathan has been reelected as the President of the African First Ladies Peace Mission (AFLPM). The First Lady was on Friday in Abuja unanimously re-elected alongside all other regional heads of the mission.
As the president, Mrs Jonathan is expected to oversee the affairs of the Mission in West Africa. Other reelected leaders of the mission are: the First Lady of Cameroon who was re-elected as Vice President, Central African Region; the First Lady of South Africa who retained the post of Vice-President, Southern African Region.
Also, the First Lady of Sudan was re-elected as Vice-President, Eastern African Region; the First Lady of Libya too retained the post of Vice-President, Northern African Region; while the First Lady of the Republic of Congo was re-elected as an Ex-Officio executive for another two-year term.
In her acceptance speech, Dame Patience Jonathan thanked all the members of the Mission for the confidence reposed in her and members of her team to continue as AFLPM’s executives. In her words: “It is a great honour for me and our country, Nigeria. This new mandate would further strengthen our resolve to laying a solid foundation for our great organisation.
“We will not relent in our efforts in ensuring that the African First Ladies Peace Mission fulfills its divine responsibility of achieving a lasting peace in Africa… Let me appeal to you my dear sisters that all of us owe our spouses support in ensuring that peace, security and total development is achieved in Africa.
“We must all work hard to change the picture of war painted of Africa to that of a peaceful, stable and progressive continent… We can still play our part in resolving some of the ongoing conflicts in Africa.’’
Her excelency neva in ur incorect mind tink ur d right person 4 dat postion, they only apointed u dier bcos they are stil expecting more cars. Money mis road government.
Kash! Am speechless
Bunch of vision less elements, the person that was elected as president, they should ask her, if her country has security or not?
Before talking of security in the continent, each and every one of them should have been able to ensure security in their home countries first, through their failed husbands in power.
Chai! No wondr she purchased 200 cars. Hmm… My first lady,i hail una strategy oo…
Elected or selected? Billions of dollars have been used to purchase d position 4 sure cos she is d least qualified. Hope they dont do same in 2015.
Service to human beings is service to God. Women and children are in adject poverty in Nigeria and other African countries of Dame Patience and other first ladies respectively. What are they doing about the economic improvement of their people? If Dame has human feeling she would have advised her husband to stop the proposed demolition of 19 villages. You call for peace when your government wants to render millions of women like you and the school children like yours homeless? What is more in peaces and devastated than this? God is in control, He can never allow evils to last. May God save, help and bless Nigeria and her helpless citizenries! Amen.
