He wrote: “We once had a First Lady (Patience Jonathan) who wore her emotions on her sleeve and publicly shared in the pain of Nigerians.
Many laughed, mocked, and called her tears ‘crocodile tears.’
Today, we are the ones shedding tears, while those in power seem unmoved by our struggles. Sometimes, we only appreciate compassion after it’s gone.”
The statement quickly generated reactions from Nigerians, many of whom shared their views on the former First Lady and the country’s current situation.
