In an indication that her husband has no plans to mount a possible political challenge to President Bola Tinubu, former first lady, Patience Jonathan, has said she has no intention of returning to the Presidential Villa.
Speaking at an event marking the 60th anniversary of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations in Abuja at the weekend, she said the stress associated with the Villa was too much.
Former president, Gooluck Jonathan back in 2022 had been touted as a possible contender for the presidential ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
In a video, she said if anybody called her to return to the Villa, she would refuse it as she is now old.
She added that if God brings one out of the stress, one should be grateful to Him.
She added; “If you call me now for villa, I won’t go there; I won’t. Don’t you see how young I am? 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 him. It is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes.
“He has taken you there once, why do you want to go there again? Me I won’t go oo,” she stated.
