Wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, on Tuesday in Ilorin, Kwara State, said her husband was the messiah hence she told Nigerian women not to vote for Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress.
“Nigerian women, if they (APC) come, tell them that your mother said you should not listen to them. They have nothing to offer. They have nothing to give you, Nigerian women; because the battle has already been conquered, God has opened the way for us. God has brought down the messiah for us. And PDP is the messiah. Goodluck is the messiah,” the President’s wife said at the Peoples Democratic Party’s women presidential rally in Ilorin.
She asked Buhari to leave politics and governance to younger people.
“I am a person that will tell the truth. I will not abuse people, but if you are old you are old, so leave it to younger people,” she said in a veiled reference to her husband’s main challenger, whom the PDP had said was too old to occupy the President’s office.
Buhari was born December 17, 1942.
The President’s wife likened the opposition APC to an “expired and adulterated drug” and urged the Nigerian electorate not to vote for the party, saying it could lead to their death.
She said God had told her that the APC would lose the general elections rescheduled for March 28 and April 11 general elections.
Mrs. Jonathan said, “What are we going to take expired drug to do? Have you seen anywhere where APC cured any person? If you vote and drink it and die, it is not my business. Do not go near APC. It is an expired drug and an adulterated drug.”
She said the Jonathan-led Federal Government had positively transformed the country through provision of massive infrastructure as well as good and functional health care and good educational system.
She also promised that the PDP would reclaim governance of Kwara State, saying the state was stolen from the PDP.
“They stole our mandate. This is opposition state. All these provisions of the Federal Government, they are claiming that they are the ones providing them, meanwhile they are embezzling the money.
“Anyone that comes, they eat it up. This time, PDP says no to them.”
Patience also cautioned APC leaders against making its campaign to clash with that of the PDP. She accused the APC of deliberately planning the political events of Aishat Buhari, the wife of the APC presidential candidate, to coincide with her own rally in order to create an atmosphere for violence between the two camps.
She said, “PDP is not shaken; as far as we are there, there is no need for trouble. You know that Mama Peace, your mother, is peace-loving, so the children must also be peace-loving. Women are peace makers and no woman that makes trouble is worth to be called a woman.
“Before I went to Edo State, the APC was there, all to make trouble. I have always been telling them that they like to make trouble. I wanted to go to Edo, they were there. Why? To make trouble. I wanted to come to Kwara, they were there. Why? To make trouble. As I was coming today at the airport, they were also coming so that there would be trouble but I told my security people that I am a mother of peace, so let them go in peace. We, wives of political leaders should not make trouble, so even if they come to you to make trouble, don’t fall for their tricks.”
Mrs. Buhari’s convoy was attacked by suspected thugs in Ilorin on Monday.
Patience added, “Kwara is PDP. They only stole the mandate because the Government House they are occupying today is in the name of PDP. We shall take it over. Everyday they change from one name to another and very soon they will change to Ebola and then death will come. My God that I serve has told me that they will fail. So don’t be deceived, don’t listen to their lies.
“There is office for wife of President but they were saying there is none. But soon they brought one ‘Hajia’ as wife of the President and she is now saying, ‘don’t worry, my husband made a mistake, we shall make provisions as necessary.’ Don’t believe what they are saying, hold to what you have because it is better than what you are yet to see.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteHay madam stop this okay. Old age is a biological process and there is nothing anyone can do about it. It is a blessing to be old and not a curse. Please, talk politics only.
ReplyDeleteCan Jonathan please shut his trash up and dump her in the garbage disposal where she belongs. Mtcheeeew!!! Biko next.
ReplyDeleteI have been listening to the public speeches of this woman and am bewildered at her utterances which are at best crude, uncivilized, and rude. Again I am bewildered that the President has been unable to moderate her. This woman is a national embarrassment and a sufficient reason for the voters to vote them out in the coming elections. She appears to think that the Presidency is their personal property and staying in power for her is an absolute necessity/indispensability.
ReplyDeleteIf the husband were living up to expectation, one would have simply tolerated her crudeness. But this is certainly not the case as Jonathan has done very badly on virtually all facets of governance - security, power, employment and corruption, etc. They need to be exited from Aso Rock sooner than later.
hopeless woman, idotic woman ... for insulting old age may you never get to 60years #bringbackourgirls

DeleteI cant believe that a mother and a national figure could wish another person ebola. Something I will not pray for my worst enemy. This continually shows PDP's desperation and dearth of humility and hope. Come March 28, by His Grace, we shall sing a new song- ameen.
ReplyDeleteMadam Patience Jonathan, please, it’s time to draw the line. I wish you can surround yourself with smart people to write your campaign speeches for you. Your campaign utterances, slogans, words, statements, etc. recently are becoming reckless, ignorant, un-learned, unpatriotic, crude, primitive, and uncivilized. Please watch it and don’t tamper with God.
