Former First Lady Patience Jonathan is back in the spotlight as Nigerians debate her legacy following Remi Tinubu’s launch of an Aso Ebi for Independence Day celebrations amidst ongoing hardship in the country. The comparison started when a lady commented that Patience Jonathan “pretended” to care, unlike Remi Tinubu, who doesn’t hide her detachment from the public.
This sparked a wider discussion, with many Nigerians defending Patience, stating she didn’t just pretend but genuinely cared for the people. Some even hailed her as the best First Lady, compared to Aisha Buhari and Pastor Remi Tinubu.
However, others disagree, labeling Patience Jonathan as a manipulative figure who used “crocodile tears” to sway public sympathy. This group has gone further to call for the abolition of the Office of the First Lady entirely.
The debate has reignited discussions on the role and influence of Nigeria’s First Ladies in public life.
