Senators of the federal republic have kicked against a vote for N4 billion for the "office of the First Lady" which actually is not a recognized office in the constitution. The N4 billion vote in the 2013 budget of the FCT is for the First lady of Nigeria Dame Patience Jonathan's project of building a "Mission Office for the First Lady"
Senator Babajide Omoworare : The Women Development Centre is there for the use of the First Lady to do anything she wants to do and I'm not aware that there's a First Ladies Mission in the US where we copied the presidential system of government. There's no such building in South Africa or Ghana that is our neighbour
Senator Babjide Ojudu said: I'm worried and I hope that those of us who are leaders in this country do not take the youths for granted. How can we vote N4 billion for office of the First Lady? I just pray and hope that this does not get to the public because if it does, we are in trouble. Nigerians will not forgive us for appropriating money for an office that doesn't exist in Nigeria. All of us sitting here must not allow this thing go through
4 billion naira for an non-existing office? Dr Jonathan must really love First lady Dame ooo
