Wife
of the President, Dame Patience Jonathan, yesterday in Onitsha
described the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the name of an expired
drug already rejected by Nigerians.
Dame Jonathan said the train service, the analog former President and
APC presidential candidate could not repair when he was in power was
what her husband has repaired.
Describing APC as an unsteady party that was always changing from one
name to another, Mrs. Jonathan said the party would die its final death
on March 28, 2015, presidential election when Nigerians would vote her
husband into office.
“They have changed their name again, very unsteady party, this time it
is APC, the name of an analog expired drug Nigerians rejected because of
its ineffectiveness, they will change name again to Ebola and then,
they will die their final death, Saturday March 28 will mark the end and
final death of APC because they will be disgraced again by Nigerians
who have always rejected them,” she said
According to her, the opposition party will instead, destroy all the things President Jonathan and his predecessor had built.
She said: “Before, we were using typewriter to type and it took all our
time, today we are using computer to type and it is saving our time and
energy, why should we go back to typewriter and leave computer, we must
move forward. We cannot leave digital stage of life and go back to the
analogue stage, God forbid.”
She reminded Anambra and South East women that in 2011, they made her
proud as one of their own, and told them that she was expecting more
from them since she and her husband never forgot them after the
elections.
‘’Remember what Jonathan did for us during the burial of late Dim
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, he made us proud and ensured that he was
given a befitting burial and this is the time to pay him back, by voting
massively for him to ensure that some of the projects he started in
Anambra State and in South East in general, like the second Niger Bridge
are completed.
“If you vote for APC all the projects President Jonathan started will be
abandoned, it is their way; they do not build, but they know how to
destroy that is why their Deputy Govornor and their members are
decamping to PDP, you have to be careful with that party that is
comfortable in jailing husband and wife for no justifiable offence,”
Mrs. Jonathan said.
She said that the welfare of women and
their children was upper most in her mind, adding that the government of
President Jonathan would fight to increase affirmative action of the
PDP government to 50 per cent from its present 35 per cent.
She said: “Do not vote for the presidential candidate that does not have
regards for women; when he was Head of State, he refused to let
Nigerians know his wife until recently when he was reminded by PDP women
that women are no more for the kitchen alone, and he hurriedly decided
to bring her out.”
Also speaking, wife of former governor of Anambra State, Dame Margaret
Peter Obi and PDP Director of Women Mobilisation, Mrs. Bekky Igweh,
said, Dame Jonathan was not supposed to campaign in the South East in
general because she and her husband had done enough to get their votes.
She urged the women and their children to vote massively for President Jonathan.
