The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has come to the defence of Nigeria’s former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, amid growing backlash over her recent endorsement of President Bola Tinubu for a second term.
The socio-cultural youth wing of the Igbo apex body labelled the criticisms directed at the former First Lady as unfounded and unnecessary.
Patience Jonathan had publicly declared her intention to support President Tinubu’s re-election bid, stating she had no desire to return to the presidential villa—a statement that has drawn sharp reactions from some Nigerians.
