The N4 billion vote in the 2013 budget of the Federal
Capital Territory for the First Lady Mission, which is Dame Patience Jonathan's
project. The N4 billion is for building a mission office for the First Lady.
The budget was reviewed yesterday by Senators ,apparently they were against the expenditure.

This was what one of the senators said:
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’
