"My name is no more Patience but now Mama Peace"- Patience Jonathan
Nigeria's First Lady and Wife of the President, Patience Jonathan on Friday while speaking at the formal launch of the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme (SURE P) of Maternal and Child Health Programme otherwise known as MAMA Project, declared that she now wishes to be named Mama Peace instead of Patience.
The change of name, she said is following her decision to henceforth preach peace to bring an end to insurgency and terrorism including the menace of Boko Haram islamic sect in the country.
At the event held at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Mama Peace also disclosed that her Non-Governmental Organisation, Women for Change Initiative has signed a Memorandum of Understand (MOU) with some international hospitals to build, equip and manage one of the best hospitals for women and children in Africa, adding that the hospital is near completion.
Daily Times reports that Mrs Jonathan noted that women and children were her primary focus, said it was her concern and interest in their well being that made her go in search of help from international partners to established the best women and children hospital in Africa.
"That was why I went in search of help, that is why soon I'm going to sign an MOU with some international hospitals to build one of the best hospital here in Nigeria that will be the best in Africa. The hospital is almost completed and will soon be equipped and then our international partners will run It to provide the best medical care to our women and children.
"My name is no more Patience but now Mama Peace. Because I believe without peace there will be no more women, no more children and no more health sector. Without peace our international community will be afraid to come and invest in our country.
"Peace is from the heart is not from the tongue or lips not what you say but what is inner you. We pray for genuine peace because is the key to our arriving at our desire destination as a nation.
"We are approaching the new year which is a year of peace, progress and so many good to come. A year of no militancy nor boko haram because God will shower peace and make us take a u-turn from disaster. she said.
