The First Lady of Nigeria made the call at the rally of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ikom, Cross River Central Senatorial District.
She said her husband earned re-election for a second term.
Mrs. Jonathan said she was in Ikom in extension of the PDP nationwide women rally to solicit votes for her husband.
Dame Patience while speaking briefly after inaugurating the 6,000-capacity Ikom Township Stadium, said Jonathan had so far did well to deserve a second term as a president.
She said: ”I came to thank you for keeping to your promise in 2011 to vote for my husband. And I want to use this opportunity to appeal to you to you to repeat the same thing in the March 28 presidential election. My husband, during his first tenure, has performed tremendously and has impacted positively on the people especially women.
”My husband promised to give women 35 per cent appointment in line with the Affirmative Action and he did. Now we are in 2015, and he will do more for the nation and women in particular.”
The first lady named successes made by the PDP-ruled administration to comprise improvement in health care distribution where infant mortality rate had dropped severely.
Mrs. Jonathan said her husband’s government established federal universities and instituted development programs to empower women and youths.
According to the first lady Jonathan’s government should also be attributed for building no fewer than 125 Almajiri schools to take kids off the street and give them hope as well as improvement in transportations and energy sectors.
Dame Patience, consequently, enjoined them not to be persuaded by those who claim to be agents of change.
”When they were in office, they did not implement the change they are canvassing now. Those promising you change did not recognise nor regard women when they were in office and it is better you follow a man who has promised to do more for the nation and sworn to keep it,” she said.
”You have two options, either President Jonathan or nothing. I am confident that the women, youths and all eligible voters in Cross River will vote for Jonathan and all PDP candidates on March 28 and April 11 elections.”
Mrs. Jonathan travels across the country to campaign Nigerians to cast their votes for husband in coming presidential election.
Dame Patience has recently advised PDP women shareholders to strengthen their campaign efforts to guarantee victory for President Goodluck Jonathan on March 28. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
