Her major problem was that when she was appointed or elected for that seat, she had no vision of what she wanted to do with the office.
- Pastor Julius Johnson, The Rhema World, Adetokunboh Ademola Crescent, Wuse 2, Abuja.

I think she was dancing to the tune of some powerful people in the party or around her. Her major problem was that when she was appointed or elected for that seat, she had no vision of what she wanted to do with the office. That was why her first step in power was a birthday party in the US and the second step

was renovation of her official quarters, body massaging machine and jeeps for her staff. It shows the kind of people we put in power. Throughout her stay in office, nothing tangible was done in that House. It's a shame.

I'm sure she had personal assistants, advisers, etc and those people should have told her that her occupancy of that seat is not representing herself or her Ikire hometown alone. She should know that in a continent where the lot of women is low in political appointment, she was representing all the Nigerian women, if not African women

Today, we are all proud of the Liberian woman, Sirleaf Johnson. Patricia Olubunmi Etteh had an opportunity to write her name in the book of heroes. But she flunked it. She should know that she should not allow herself to be used in a corrupt manner. But she did and she exists disgraceful. Chuba Okadigbo had said that there is a banana peel that pulls people out of the seat of power. That has gone into the books and her children children will read of it someday.

When she was there, she hardened her heart and she was enjoying fights between men old enough to be her husband or father. People like Etteh have traveled out. She saw how neat those places are but she could not rise to the occasion of serving the nation and make Nigerian look like US where she had her birthday.

It's only in Nigeria that issues like this last for that long.
- Pastor Robert Johnson, Kings Mission Centre, Pako, Lagos.

Well, it's unfortunate because when I see how things happen around the world, it's only in Nigeria that you will see issues like this last for that long. If it's in a place where people respect law and morality, that matter would have closed long ago.

But it's a sad reminder that that is where we are as a nation. And if this is coming from a very top echelon of our society, then you and I, the church have got a lot to do.

I hope you know that the Church is the only institution that can change the character of people. There is no political institution or corporate organisation that can change people inside out. Only the church is vested with that power and authority, that is why I say it is a sad reminder.

She should have remained herself, never to be pushed.
- Pastor. Benson Omomukoyo, CAKC, Lagos Nigeria.

I think what happened was regrettable, and that instructs all of us that we all have to be careful in position of authority.
When I was the Executive Director at NNPC, someone asked me that how did I reflect on my achievements on that seat and what did I regard as my greatest achievements here.
I told him that my occupancy of that position did not destroy my main line of thought or influenced me negatively ever. I have always been myself.
Patricia Etteh might have been a very good woman naturally but there are lots of people around her who would be telling her do this and that.
She ought to have been more careful. She ought to know that power is transient and she should have been herself and fear God. No one should be able to push her.
What happened to her was regrettable.

I don't want to say that she is absolutely corrupt. She was used and for a woman who could not say no, she found herself where she did.
- Pastor Silva Daniel, Love Aflame Ministries, Okokomaiko, Lagos.

She found herself in a box where she could not get out. I want to believe that all that happened were not her making. She was just a figure head with a lot of people behind the scene, manipulating her. She did not want to open up because if she did, so many heads will roll. She was just a figure head.
Even in our Church here, I am the Senior Pastor but there are people behind who tell me do this and do that. But I do what the Lord tells me to do. For every individual, there are so many interests attached. How much more a person in position of power.
There are power brokers, power structures we do not ordinarily see day to day. I don't want to say that she is absolutely corrupt. She was just used and for a woman who could not say no, she found herself where she did.
Apart from that, above our physical realm is the spiritual realm, where our actions here are influenced. People are made to act the way they are not suppose to. They take decisions over not and wake up to find ask themselves how did I take this decision? For the first time, a lady occupied the position and it is a hot seat, perhaps too hot for women or too hot for her.
Ordinarily, it baffled me that a lady would do what she did.

That is another serious issue we as a nation trifle with
