Patience Jonathan, the wife of former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has said since leaving the presidential villa, she has become younger.<\/p>\n

Patience said: \u201cThe stress of Nigeria is too much. If you call (on) me now for the villa, I won\u2019t go there. I won\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you see how young I am? The stress is so much. The stress of Nigeria is so much.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf God manages to bring you out of it, you should glorify God and thank him. It is the Lord\u2019s doing and it is marvellous in our eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has taken you there once, why do you want to go there again? Me, I won\u2019t go ooo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also commenting on the 2015 presidential election, which her husband lost to Muhammadu Buhari, Patience Jonathan said she did not encourage Goodluck to hand on to power.She said she did not urge her husband to stay in office after he lost at the polls.<\/p>\n
According to her, Jonathan \u201cwillingly relinquished without a fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we failed the election, I was with him (Jonathan). We were in the room when we were told you had lost.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did not whisper to him that he must stay. Because we will shed blood. Innocent people will die.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd who will be the person we don\u2019t know. It might be you, it might be me. It might be my brother or sister.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t need anybody to die. We\u2019re brothers and sisters. We are one country,\u201d the former First Lady added.<\/p>\n
