tumultuous welcome from her kinsmen on
arrival in Okrika, Rivers State, on Wednesday.
Mrs. Jonathan has not been seen in public
since the release of the results of the
Presidential election last week, which her
husband lost to Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd.).
Jonathan's visit is the first since the March 28
Presidential election, in which her husband,
President Goodluck Jonathan, conceded defeat
to the President-elect, Maj.Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.).
Patience, who expressed surprise at the large
turnout of people, thanked them for their love
and support.
She described their warm welcome as a
demonstration of their love and affection for
her.
Mrs. Jonathan also thanked them for their
prayers, support and belief in her husband's
leadership.
Some of the people, who spoke with the News
Agency of Nigeria, said they were proud of the
President's wife.
One of them, Mrs. Remi Kuku, said Nigerian
women had never had it so good until Mrs.
Jonathan came on board.
"History will be kind to her, no matter what
anyone or group says about her; she is a goal-
getter and I wish her well,'' Kuku said.
Also, Mr. James Bright said Mrs. Jonathan had
contributed to the socio-economic
development of Okrika people.
