PATIENCE JONATHAN ASKS FOR OFFICE OF FIRST LADY TO BE RECOGNISED IN THE CONSTITUTION

The First lady, Mrs Patience Jonathan has campaigned for the inclusion of the role of first ladies in the Nigerian constitution to enable them get retirement benefits along with their husbands when they retire.
Dame Patience who arrived two hours late for her swearing in ceremony as a permanent secretary in the Bayelsa state civil service made the suggestion in a chat with journalists shortly after the event.
Mrs Jonathan painfully recalled a situation when Governor Fashola of Lagos prevailed on the President to call her to order because the role of the First lady was not in the constitution.
The First lady tasked the Constitution Amendment committee to look into the issue with a view to including it in the next constitution.
When pigs fly.
