First Lady, Patience Jonathan has warned Nigerians to stop insulting her husband, saying that God Himself made him the president of the country.
Mrs. Jonathan handed this warning while addressing children at an event she organised to mark the 2014 Children’s Day at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Making reference to the Bible, she noted trhat God’s instruction to mankind to honour their parents was not limited to biological parents.
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.
“The Holy Bible is not referring to only biological parents. Any one that is older than you even for a day must be respected. Let us therefore join hands and rebuild our country Nigeria.”
She said that the Federal Government was doing its possible best to secure the freedom of the over 200 schoolgirls abducted from Chibok, Borno State. Post your Comments here!
