First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan says she is ready to be probed following accusations from some quarters that her office is funded from the federal budget. She said this while speaking at the PDP Women rally in Edo state yesterday March 14th.
"Mrs. Jonathan is the first lady of this country. There is no budget, no constitutional rights. So if from tomorrow you hear Mrs. Jonathan is corrupt, am I holding your money? Are you giving me any budget ? I don’t have any budget attached to my office. Go and probe my office. Go and probe me and see whether there is any budget attached to my office. Go and probe and see whether there is any money they send to my office. I don’t touch your money. Whatever I have, I struggled for it. I worked for it. I suffered for it,” she said.
Even in d midst of dis security brouhaha n political upheaval, all som cud tink of is probing an innocent unelected woman whose office is near-insignificant save for d name attached to it. It is, borrowin d words of ma erudite crony - Patrick Obahiagbon, regrettably lugubrious and in addition, perpetually hilarious. May d Almighty one scamper to d succour of Nigerians who dont mind going any length in order to annihilate whoeva dey deem fit of being labelled a foe. Here we are, watching
