First lady says there's no budget attached to her office so she cannot be accused of being corrupt.


The first lady of Nigeria, Dame Patience Jonathan at a rally held at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin yesterday, said she’s not corrupt and she’s not holding Nigerians money.
Mrs Jonathan says she is ready to be probed following accusations from some quarters that her office is funded from the federal budget. She said this while speaking at the PDP Women rally.
According to her, " There is no budget, no constitutional rights. So if from tomorrow you hear Mrs. Jonathan is corrupt, am I holding your money? Are you giving me any budget ? I don’t have any budget attached to my office. Go and probe my office. Go and probe me and see whether there is any budget attached to my office. Go and probe and see whether there is any money they send to my office. I don’t touch your money. Whatever I have, I struggled for it. I worked for it. I suffered for it,” she said.
