Patience gave the advice while
addressing children at an event she organised to mark the 2014
Children’s Day at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The children used the occasion to send
letters of protest to the Boko Haram sect and President Goodluck
Jonathan on the need to release the abducted girls.
The letters were given to Mrs. Jonathan for onward delivery to her husband and members of the sect.
The President’s wife however said since
she did not know members of the sect, she would forward the children’s
letters to the National Security Adviser or the Chief of Defence Staff.
She said, “It is bad to abuse our country and the President because God has made him the head.
“The Almighty God commands us to pray
for our leaders. We therefore need to pray for the development of our
country and the President.
