Following her husband's defeat at the recently held
presidential election, Mrs Patience Jonathan has called
for an emergency meeting of the African Ladies Peace
Mission where she has served as President since July
2012. Mrs Jonathan was elected President of the group
in July 2012 and was expected to do two year term but
with the exit of her husband from office, she will have to
handover as President to someone else. Read the letter
calling for the emergency meeting after the cut...
"Your Excellency may recall that Nigeria was re-elected
President of the AFLPM at the 7th Summit in Abuja in
July 2012. With the recent election in my country and a
new government coming on board from May 29, 2015, it
has become necessary to convene an emergency summit
of the AFLPM to facilitate a smooth and formal hand over
to the new Executive Committee that will pilot the affairs
of the Peace Mission for the next two years. The
Emergency Summit is proposed for Friday, May 15, 2015
at the Interim Secretariat of the African First Ladies
Peace Mission, Abuja by 2pm. The Summit will, however,
be preceded by the 4th meeting of the Executive Bureau
by 9am, on May 15 at the same venue. The Bureau
Meeting is for members of the Executive Bureau,
comprising South Africa, Sudan, Cameroon, Libya and
Congo Brazzaville. In the light of the above, may I
appeal to Your Excellency to give utmost consideration
to attending the Emergency Summit in order to ensure
that our organisation maintains its current momentum.
We will deeply appreciate your kind early response to
help us in planning the Summit, in view of limited time
available to us."
