Nigeria's First lady, Patience Jonathan has adopted a name which she claims is connected with her effort at restoring lasting peace in the nation.
Mrs. Jonathan made the declaration on Friday while inaugurating the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme Maternal and Child Health, otherwise known as MAMA Project.
According to her, “My name is no more Patience but now Mama Peace because I believe that without peace, there will be no more women, no more children and no more health sector. Without peace, the international community will be afraid to come and invest in our country.
“Peace is from the heart and not from the tongue or lips; not what you say but what is in you. We pray for genuine peace because peace is the key to our arriving at our desired destination as a nation.
“We are approaching the new year which is a year of peace, progress and so many good things to come. 2014 is going to be a year of no militancy and no Boko Haram because God will shower peace and make us take a U-turn from disaster.”
She said that her primary aim was to redeem both women and children, adding that it was her concern and interest in their well-being that made her go in search of help from international partners and agencies to establish the best women and children hospital in Africa.
“That was why I went in search of help; that is why soon I’m going to sign an MoU with some international hospital to build one of the best hospital here in Nigeria that will be the best in Africa.
The hospital is almost completed and will
soon be equipped and then our international partners will run it to provide the best healthcare to our women and children,” the President’s wife stated.
