Dame Patience Jonathan has told Senator Oluremi Tinubu that it is her turn to be the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Jonathan said this during her solidarity visit to the wife of President Tinubu at the presidential villa Abuja on Wednesday.
While thanking her for making an impact on the lives of Nigerian women, Jonathan’s wife promised that the first lady would receive all the necessary support to record success.
The ex-president’s wife said it was pertinent for her to reciprocate by giving the former Lagos senator all support and encouragement to move the nation forward.
Jonathan commended women groups for their support for the president and his wife and urged them to maintain their support for the government to sustain the patriotic efforts.

The Enugu State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal has reserved judgement in the petition by Barr Chijioke Edeoga the governorship candidate of the Labour Party, LP, challenging the election of Governor Peter Mbah of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the March 18 governorship election in the State.
Edeoga is challenging the declaration of Mbah by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as the winner of the governorship election in the State.
All the parties adopted their final addresses before the tribunal on Wednesday.
Chairman of the panel, Justice Kudirat Morayo Akano, said the date would be duly communicated to the parties.
Adopting his final address, Edeoga’s counsel, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, asked the tribunal to hold the position of his clients and grant the reliefs sought.
This, he said, was because it had been established beyond any reasonable doubt that Mbah was at the time of the election not constitutionally qualified to contest having presented a forged certificate of National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, to INEC.
