Former Nigeria’s first Lady, Patience Jonathan, has giving reasons why she has decided not to go back to Aso Rock a second time, noting the stress in governing the country.

She said this during her speech on ‘Public relations, value reorientation, and economic transformation’ on Thursday, at a colloquium organised to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations, NIPR.
“The stress of Nigeria is too much. If you call (on) me now for the villa, I won’t go there. I won’t.
“Don’t you see how young I am? The stress is so much.
“The stress of Nigeria is so much. If God manages to bring you out of it, you should glorify God and thank him. It is the Lord’s doing and it is marvellous in our eyes.
“He has taken you there once, why do you want to go there again? Me I won’t go ooo.”
“When we failed the election, I was with him (Jonathan). We were in the room when we were told you had lost.
“I did not whisper to him that he must stay. Because we will shed blood. Innocent people will die.
“And who will be the person we don’t know. It might be you, it might be me. It might be my brother or sister.
“We don’t need anybody to die. We’re brothers and sisters. We are one country.” She said.
