Why I Won’t Return To Aso Rock Villa – Patience Jonathan

Former First Lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan as said that she would not be returning to Aso Rock as she laments the difficulties with living in the presidential residence.
It would be recalled that Patience Jonathan lived in the presidential villa from 2007 to 2015, during her husband, Goodluck‘s tenure as vice president before stepping in as president.

She succeeded Turai Yar’Adua as First Lady following the death of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in 2010.

Speaking at a recent event, she talked about the challenges of living in Aso Rock and vowed never to return, noting that she feels younger since leaving office.

She said:

“Because to me, if you call me now for Villa I won’t go there. I won’t go there. Don’t you see how young I am? Because the stress is so much. The stress of Nigeria is so much. If God manages to bring you out of it you should glorify God and thank God for the Lord’s doing because it’s marvellous in His eyes.

“He has taken you there once and you want to go there again? Me I won’t go o. I need peace o. I need your love. I want to share love with you. May God bless us o.”
