Former First lady, Patience Jonathan, was the guest of honor at the Women’s Day of
the Rivers state Golden Jubilee Celebration in Port Harcourt, the state capital Thursday May 11th.
Speaking at the occasion, Mrs
Jonathan said women from the state will remain grateful to Governor Wike for giving
them political and professional leverage.
She said that the governor’s choice of female deputy governor and the appointment of the first female Chief Judge and President of Customary Court of Appeal
ensured that Rivers women took their pride of place in politics.
