Children parliament and other dignitaries visited the Nigeria First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan in Abuja to mark the Children's Day and handed over letters to her, the first letter was directed to the President while the second was directed to Boko Haram and this is what "MamaPeace" has to say
“Let me thank the children that gave me a
letter to give Boko Haram. Well, I have received your letter, but I am
not the one to give it to Boko Haram because I don’t know Boko Haram and
I have never seen Boko Haram. But I will give it to the NSS or the
Chief of Defence Staff who will submit your letter accordingly.
“To my children, thank you for your
letter. Thank you for your deliberation. I have received what you gave
to me. I will make sure I pass it to the President because it is
addressed to him and the other one is addressed to Boko Haram. That is
why the two are different,” she added.
Earlier, Patience had told the children
that God’s instruction to mankind to honour their parents was not
limited to their biological parents only.
She said, “It is bad to abuse our country and the President because God has made him the head.
“The Almighty God commands us to pray
for our leaders. We therefore need to pray for the development of our
country and the President.
“Remember that a child that abuses his
father and mother is disobeying God’s commandment because the Bible says
in Exodus 20:12 that you should honour your father and mother so that
you may live long in the land that the Lord your God has given you.”
She assured the children and adults who
attended the event that the Federal Government was doing all within its
powers to secure the release of the over 200 schoolgirls abducted from
Chibok, Borno State.
