My people, who is now the first lady? Is Mrs. Goodluck also an acting first lady? I don't think sister Turai will find that easy at all afterall she is not sick she is still very much first as first lady. Any news regarding this ?

@poster
This is a very good question. I will also like to know.

Abi oh my brother, Turai is something else from what i have read about her lately.

Goodluck's wife will be the acting first lady since Turai is also out of the country

I think i've to send my new g/f to serve as 1st lady, since yaradua's wife is not in the country.Her name is turai too! What y'all think?

how about co-first ladies

Me i just dey think that oh! Maybe NASS Will also pass a resolution.

The business of CHAOS PLC is an interesting one, they create more confusion than the problem they meant to solve. They usually know what they are doing, it is deliberate, that is their business model. Perpetual confusion is their watchword.

That is what NASS  have suceeded in doing with proclaming Goodluck Jonathan the Acting President when the current President fate is unknown.

They should have start impeachment proceedings which will have forced Yar a'do nothing to either show up or be a goner. Holding Nigerias/people to ransom is one of their modus operandi.

Lawless and lawbreakers who are Useless people calling themselves lawmakers. They have no idea on how to make any law.

VOTE PDP OUT IN 2011 ELECTION AND VOTE ANY PARTY OF YOUR CHOICE TO SEND MESSAGE THAT POWER BELONG TO THE PEOPLE

It is a question that requires common sense, u don’t have to be a lawyer or Academic Doctor to know the answer. Is the post of the first Lady recognised by our Constitution – No,

Does she draw a Salary – No,

so what is the big deal, well the big deal is she is the wife of the President,

Is the President on seat now- No

Conclusion: If President is not on seat it simply means Madame Turai is irrelevant as it stands now, it may well change in future but for now, Turai is a nobody.

I am no lawyer but my opinion is that Turai is no longer the first lady because that role must be undertaken by any woman that is the legal spouse of the current President , wether acting or substantive. Since Jonathan is now the acting President , his wife automatically becomes acting first lady - so to speak. When/if Yar Adua resumes as President then Turai also resumes as first lady. Right now she is limbo .

My people, who is now the first lady? Is Mrs. Goodluck also an acting first lady? I don't think sister Turai will find that easy at all afterall she is not sick she is still very much first as first lady. Any news regarding this ?

I don't see that as problem since YaraDua was the one that was s(elected) or do Nigerian votes for Turai? She should just go and see down somewhere and hope her husband is safe and healthy.

Brilliant idea!! but who will have a go frist? Tanimu, Aliero or Babangida seeing as his own just left the building
I'm not too sure Jonathan goes for anything under size 16

Am sure Turai is already aware of this new development, But will she find it easy ? because from the look of things she was already thinking that ruling naija is their birthright that's why you hear her vowing to punish any one that stands on their way.

Turai can only be first lady to Umaru Yar'Adua if he were still the President. Now he is not, so even Turai is no more a first lady.
Jonathan is Acting President not substantive, his wife therefore is the wife of the Acting President. When he becomes President, his wife becomes the first lady.

She is more than that. Some protocol , national and International, will expect the wife of a President , substantive or otherwise , to perform certain roles. If , for example, a speech is reserved for the first lady of Nigeria then Jonathan's wife will deliver the speech. Jonathan's wife , for all intents and purposes , will act as the first lady .

If there is a President and a first lady, then yes. In this case there is none and everybody knows Jonathan is Acting President.

His wife will deliver any speech and attend all engagements as the wife of the Acting President. There's no Acting First Lady.

Is that position really legal? I am surprised that the likes of Falana hasn't taken them to court to challenge the use of that word and public money they spend in the process without constitutional budgetry allowance for it.

Yaradua is still the President.

He was neither impeached or voted out!

Turai remains the first lady and GoodLook is ACTING.

My People abeg lets forget about this First lady business, afterrall they all go there to create loots for themselves.Make Jonathan Goodluck go there and deliver to the people is what we are after.

Una do start August meeting here.

KnowAll:

Does she draw a Salary – No,

she draws several allowances. I'm sure those won't change.

is there a provision for first lady in nigeria's constitution??

Rubbish

Of course he is, I keep forgetting. President in absentia. What I meant to say is Turai cannot perform her duties as a first lady when Jonathan is Acting President. She can only do that when Yar'Adua is back.
