The wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, on Monday told the presidential campaign organisation of the All Progressives Congress that “she is a woman of peace that can never be identified with electoral violence.”
She said there was no way somebody like her who occupies the exalted office of the President of the African First Ladies Mission would be promoting violence under any guise.
Mrs. Jonathan who spoke with newsmen through her media aide, Ayo Adewuyi, was reacting to the decision of the APC to report her to the International Criminal Court for allegedly asking supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party to stone anyone canvassing for change, the APC slogan, during a campaign rally in Calabar, Cross River State.
Adewuyi said, “The only thing we can say from here is that Dame Patience Jonathan is a woman of peace that can never in any way be identified with violence before, during and after elections.
“You do not expect somebody who is the President of African First Ladies to be promoting violence.”
When asked whether the President’s wife would be ready to answer any inquiry from the ICC on the matter, Adewuyi simply said, “They are just notifying. The case is not yet in ICC. They are entitled to their opinions and actions. We are not going to be dragged into any argument with them.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteah ah, after hearing that in Ivory Coast, Gbagbos wife was sentenced to 20yrs imprisonment for Post Election Violence, she is trying to rewrite the books. Kontinu.
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised this woman does not understand that making brainless and derogatory remarks could instigate her equally brainless morally dead and corruption riddled supporters to resolve to violence. Well her husband has redefined corruption in Nigeria anyway she is redefining violence on her part
