I’m Now To Be Called “Mama Peace” — Patience Jonathan

The First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan on
Friday inaugurated the Subsidy
Reinvestment and Empowerment
Programme Maternal and Child Health
otherwise known as MAMA Project with a
declaration that henceforth she should no
longer be called Patience but “Mama
Peace.”
According to her, the peace evangelism is
what she would be preaching to bring an
end to insurgency and terrorism in the
country.
Speaking at the Banquet Hall of the
Presidential Villa, Abuja venue of the
event, she also stated that her Non-
Governmental Organisation, Women for
Change Initiative, has signed a
Memorandum of Understand with some
international health agencies and
hospitals, which have agreed to build,
equip and manage the best hospital for
women and children in Africa.
The SURE-P MCH is a direct intervention
by the Federal Government using the
savings from the fuel subsidy removal to
reduce the incidence of maternal and
child mortality.
The First Lady said, “My name is no more
Patience but now Mama Peace because I
believe that without peace, there will be no
more women, no more children and no
more health sector. Without peace, our
international community will be afraid to
come and invest in our country.
“Peace is from the heart and not from the
tongue or lips; not what you say but what
is in you. We pray for genuine peace
because peace is the key to our arriving
at our desired destination as a nation.
“We are approaching the new year which
is a year of peace, progress and so many
good things to come. 2014 is going to be
a year of no militancy and no Boko
Haram because God will shower peace
and make us take a U-turn from
disaster.”
