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.
