Wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame Patience Jonathan, on Tuesday called on Nigerians not to vote for a presidential candidate, she said, would put women in pudah(female Islamic dress) or trample on their rights and enslave them.
In a veiled reference to the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), she stated that women deserved to be given due recognition and opportunities and not to be relegated to the background.
She spoke in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, during the Peoples Democratic Party’s women campaign rally.
The President’s wife said Jonathan’s administration had given women more opportunities to actualise their dreams and showcase their potential.
Dame Jonathan said the current administration had offered women great opportunities to be part of decision making in national governance.
According to her, Nigerian women had also been empowered and provided job through the agricultural revolution and other Federal Government’s initiatives and interventions.
She called on the electorate to re-elect Jonathan, noting that the introduction of U-Win and Subsidy Reinvestment Programme had created many jobs for the teeming unemployed Nigerian youths.
She said, “This administration identified and reckoned with women. Women were empowered; they were given opportunities to serve the nation and they performed creditably well to the admiration of the people.”
The Kogi State Governor, Capt. Idris Wada, said Jonathan’s administration had ensured great infrastructural provision and human capital development in the state.
The State Deputy Governor, Mr. Yomi Awoniyi, said the turnout of women at the rally was an expression of love their for Jonathan. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteWe are sick of people casting aspersions on another's religion. This comment by this woman is highly inflammatory. She needs some polishing on how to speak in public.
ReplyDeleteThy Glory o Nigeria, is now slain upon the high places.
ReplyDeleteIt's unfortunate that while sincere and patriotic Nigerians are desiring and preaching progress, our Political Landscape is now being trampled upon by stack illiterates.
Indeed in Nigeria, "Some Mothers Do Have Them".
It's now the period of campaign of Stack illiterates by PDP Stack illiterates to fellow PDP Stack illiterates.
Thank God Nigerians are now wiser and Nigerians now know that no claim can be credible without proof and salient test of whether the Constitution can ever permit such claims. I wonder which part of the Nigerian Constitution can make this claim to either be possible or credible.
May God deliver Nigeria from the reproach called Dame Patience Goodluck Jonathan, in that mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen and Amen.
May God also deliver Nigeria from the reproach called Goodluck Ebele Jonathan aka Husband of Fellow Widows, in that mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen and Amen.
May God also deliver Nigeria from the tyrannical reproach called PDP, in that mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen and Amen.
I am sure Buhari did not originate the wearing of hijab and purdah custom for Muslims. Patience please stop exposing your ignorance. Is his wife in purdah? besides if being in purdah will make hippos like you look like Buhari's wife, i suggest you get imprisoned in one for the rest of your life. Ugly magador.
