Abuja, yesterday. PH
The hand
over ceremony took place at the Office of the First Lady Federal Republic of
Nigeria, in Abuja, during the 8th AFLPM Summit of the mission which comprises
of wives of Presidents of all African countries.
Vanguard news.
The
tenure of Patience Jonathan which started when she was elected as the mission’s
President at its seventh summit held in Abuja in July 2012 is supposed to have
expired in July 2015 when a new president would have been elected.
However,
Mrs. Jonathan summoned an emergency summit of the mission on Friday, where she
handed over to her successor.
It will
be recalled that the action of the president’s wife was earlier calculated by
critics as a ploy to prevent the wife of the President-elect, Hajiha Aisha
Buhari, from replacing her as President of the African First Ladies Peace
Mission (AFLPM).
Meanwhile,
Patience has cleared the air saying it is mischievous for anyone to scheme such
allegations to cause disaffection between her and Buahri’s wife
