She however thanked the children for the second letter addressed to President Goodluck Jonathan.She said:
“Let me thank the children that gave me letter to give Boko Haram. toWell, I have received your letter, but I’m not the one to give it to Boko Haram because I don’t know Boko Haram and I have never seen Boko Haram. But I will give it to NSA orChief of Defence Staff who will submit your letter accordingly.”On the second letter, she said: “To my children parliament, thank you for your letter. Thank you for your deliberation. I have received what you gave to me. I will make sure I pass it to the president because it is addressed to him and the other one is addressed to Boko Haram.That is why the two are different.”
She further warned Nigerians to desist from abusing the President, she urged them to commit themselves to developmental issues.On the need to learn good morals for positive human development, the First Lady told the children that respect for constituted authority was necessary if the country is to witness meaningful development.She said:
“It is bad to abuse our country and the president because God has made him the head. The almighty God commands us to pray for our leaders. We therefore need to pray for the development of our country and the president.”Quoting from the holy scriptures, she said, “Remember that a child that abuses his father and mother is disobeying God’s commandment because the bible says in Exodus 20:12that you should honour your father andmother so that you may live long in the land that the Lord your God has given you”.“The holy Bible is not referring to only biological parents. Any one that is older than you even for a day must be respected. Let us therefore join hands and rebuild our country Nigeria”
