Borno’s First Lady: “Why I Couln’t Attend Sunday’s Meeting With Patience Jonathan” + “Na Only U Waka Come” T-Shirts Hit Town

By now, you have all seen the video of the first lady breaking down in tears as she addressed the issue of the abducted girls and how she accused the first lady of Borno of being nonchalant about the situation. Borno Governor’s wife, Nana Shettima, in a statement released by her office yesterday has explained why she did not attend Sunday’s meeting with Patience Jonathan over the abducted school girls. According to the statement, Mrs Shettima was preparing to visit parents of the abducted school girls yesterday in Chibok to give them moral support and that was why she couldn’t make it to the meeting but sent a representative down.

Some of the parents have also been discovered to have health challenges when Mrs Shettima visited and she promised they will all be attended to. P.S: On a related note, the famous line made by Dame Patience: “Na only u waka come”, has also been turned into a t-shirt like the Civil Defence ridicule of last year.
