Nigeria's first lady, Patience Jonathan has explained why she would not be handing over her position as President African First Ladies Peace Mission to Aisha, wife of President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.

Patience Jonathan

There had been media reports that Dame Patience was keen on hosting an African First Ladies Mission Summit before May 29 so as to block Mrs Buhari from taking her position.

Explaining the reasons why Mrs Buhari cannot take over from her, an aide to Dame Jonathan, Mr. Ayo Adewuyi told PUNCH that Mrs. Jonathan was elected President in July 2012 and was meant to serve for two years, according to the group’s internal regulation. He further said that while her tenure ought to have ended in 2014, when a fresh election should have held, the President’s wife drew the attention of her colleagues to the then forthcoming election in Nigeria, which preparation would not enable her host the summit.

''Arising from the above, it is therefore clear that this is not a personal matter nor specifically a Nigeria sole affair but a continental platform governed by its own rules and protocols just as similar international organisations. It would therefore be out of place for anyone to insinuate that it is intended to shut out the incoming First Lady. This cannot be farther from the truth.

''We state therefore without any iota of equivocation that it is mischievous for anyone to scheme to cause disaffection between the outgoing and incoming First Ladies, Dame Patience Jonathan, and Hajia Aisha Buhari. Let us therefore come together in our tradition of hospitality to heartily welcome our guests, the African First Ladies, as they arrive Abuja for the 8th Summit of the Mission.

''Let us always remember that the personal ambition of anybody is not worth destroying the image of the nation''.

An unofficial post! Patience, you inherited the first lady position from a Northern woman(Turai), and you are going to hand over to another Northern woman eventhough you hate them very well. 'we no dey like people from that side'- Patience Jonathan. Aisha Buhari must exert high influence on the other African first Ladies since she is the wife of the president of NIGERIA. If you that best qualifies as a 'Tout'(base on your actions and utterances) could have influence on that Union; how about a woman of class that is well nurtured like Aisha.

this is interesting where has she been since all dis dayz. All she fights for is unnecessary leadership and power.
SHE LOVES POWER

So, if voting was postponed since July 2014, did they eventually have one? How is she still president of the group? You mean Mrs. Jonathan has delayed the process until now?

Madam SHEPOPOTEMUS is at it again. SHEPO should remember it is not in her place to decide since she is the out going first lady who no longer have any say in the group again !!!! Madam go and seat down and concentrate your shepopotemus energy on how to relocate to Otuoke !!!

BUT NOW SHE HAS BEEN SUED TO COURT OVER THE ISSUE http:///SAlbrM

This woman lacks any sense of shame and honor

Shepo....better respect yourself

Mama peace has spoken Mama peace remains d best first lady naija has ever produced May God make ya mothers as wise as mama peace

Does the position has any influence on the development of Nigeria and it's citizen?

SHARIAREPORTERS:
Mama peace has spoken
Mama peace remains d best first lady naija has ever produced
May God make ya mothers as wise as mama peace

Best at tenure elongation. JUNE 2014 was when her reign of the absurd ended in that organisation.

This woman is simply NUT !

. Cry me a river,,,

Why is Aisha Buhari fighting? Her husband has said the office of first Lady is unconstitutional and will be scrapped, meaning from May 29th, there won't be anything like office of first lady any longer. Then what is the essence of going to court? abi GMB scam us on this too?

I think Stella Obasanjo remains the only First lady Nigeria has ever had until 2019 decides.

this woman should just give up... jonathan has already lost

Mama piss is bitter. This is her own way of sulking nd grieving over her lost position as first lady. Aisha is not even interested in it sef

Gbagbo better come and advice this woman oo

The same Aisha that doesn't even want to be addressed as first lady will now be vying for president of first lady bla bla bla. I'm sure Aisha couldn't care less about their summit or whatever. Madam pepe can carry her first lady on her her head back to Otuoke or okrika. How has their useless summit affected the average African sef?

I didnt even see where she specifically used the words 'cannot' in the excerpt posted..
The title was a click-bait, qnd Nigerians as usual jumped on it and got emotional.

Just Like How Nigeria Election Was Postponed By Six Weeks,The African First Ladies Election Postponed By A Year,I Smell Rigging.
