Patience Jonathan replies Gen. Buhari on scrapping the office of the First Lady

General Buhari stated yesterday in an interview with Weekly Trust that if elected as president in next year’s presidential election, he would abolish the office of the First Lady. The office, though not constitutionally recognized, has been maintained by past and present administrations and is even seen as being key in policy decisions. He said that ministries, which are constitutional, should be allowed to play their roles instead.
"There is the Ministry of Women Affairs, and so on. I was raised by my mother, as I lost my father when I was under 6 yars, so I know what a woman can do if given the chance”.
In a subtle way of replying Buhari's comments, First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan, emphasized the importance of the office of the First Lady in the Nigerian politics, saying that the office has been an avenue for mobilizing women for mass participation in politics.

When asked in an interview with Saturday Punch if people would ever see him and his half brother Femi Kuti collaborate, Seun Kutu replied;
Collaborations like that are money spinners. If we would collaborate, it is not because we want to do something great for music because we are already making great music individually.
