The First Lady’s attempt to intervene in the Chibok girls’ abduction saga earned her (and in some ways, all of us), sufficient global scorn and opprobrium. Under Mrs. Jonathan, the Office of the First Lady of Nigeria has almost become another big government agency with overreaching powers. During both military and civilian regimes, the country witnessed the reigns of many First Ladies who commanded a lot of respect across the country. Many Nigerians proudly identified with and benefitted from their empowerment programmes. An invitation from the office of the First Lady ought to be a privilege that will be forever cherished by whosoever gets it. This is no more the case under the present dispensation. Sadly, her meddlesomeness, unbridled partisanship, and interference in stately affairs continue to paint her husband in such a bad light and impact negatively on his already dwindling popularity. punchng/opinion/sofly-sofly-madam-jonathan/
