The First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, on Wednesday appealed to
Nigerian youths to always put the nation first and embrace peace to
foster development in the country.
Jonathan said this while
receiving various youth leaders who visited the State House in Abuja as
part of activities ahead of the National Youth Peace Concert.
The concert is scheduled for Saturday, March 8 in Abuja.
Dame Patience Jonathan decried the ongoing killings in Borno, saying
the killing of students and other Nigerians was a dastard act as the
youths are the nation’s future hope.
“Today, I have two children.
If they get killed, life is not worth living for me. Why will anyone
therefore want to kill people’s children? No mother will like to suffer
in vain.
“Our joy is in the youths. You are the hope of Nigeria, the hope of tomorrow. I don’t want to lose any of you.
