Nigeria’s First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has dared the former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over who becomes the true Iyaloja. You may say she has shifted her alleged fight with Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State to Tinubu.

Speaking at a rally at the Aso Rock market, Abuja, Patience challenged the newly installed Iyaloja of Lagos, Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, and her father, for the contest in electing the true Iyaloja. She frowned at the imposition of the Lagos godfather’s daughter on market women in Lagos State.

Patience declared her intention to run as the overall market leader claiming she has discovered that she can’t run for the gubernatorial race in Rivers State, her homestate. The President’s wife said if Tinubu doesn’t adhere to her advice, she would have no other option than to declare herself as the authentic Iyaloja.

In her three-point reason, Mrs Jonathan said, “my fellow market women, after spending 10 days in Rivers State since week before last, I have seen that becoming Rivers governor is not my portion.

“Just like Tinubu’s wife said, becoming governor is not for a soft-hearted woman like me. And me I don’t want to be vice president like Tinubu’s wife because me and Jonah on one ticket would pain Sambo well-well. So that’s why I want to come and be your leader.

“I deserve to be Iyaloja because I am the greatest patroniser of market women. Ask Tinubu’s daughter whether her husband has ever budgeted N1 billion for food. But that’s what my husband spends. So, since I am the one that buys food more than everyone else in this country, I deserve to be Iyaloja.”

Concluding, the First Lady stated that, “all these newspaper people say I talk too much abi?” she got a chorused “yes” from the market women.

She then proceeded by saying, “okay, when I was a children, we used to sing a song in school ‘You talk too much, you talk too much, is here a market place?’ So if market place is the place where they talk too much and me I talk too much then I must become the leader of the market people, not so?” and she got a well sounding “na so” as response.
