On an interview with Newsmen the former president wife of Nigeria said;
“’We first met at the Rivers State College of Education, Port-Harcourt, where I was a student. He was my Biology lecturer.
Later, he left for the University of Port Harcourt to pursue his Ph.D.
“We met again at the University of Port Harcourt when I went for my undergraduate degree.
That was where our relationship began. He took a keen interest in me because I was a brilliant and smart student.
”It was love at first sight on his part. But it never crossed my mind that it would lead to a serious relationship.
My first impression of him was ‘this tall, dark, handsome young man’.”Further interaction with him also showed that he came from a good Christian home just like I did.
His humble and gentle disposition caught my attention and most importantly, his intelligence.”— First Lady Patience Faka Jonathan (on how she met her husband), 2012.
