Wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, on Tuesday in Ilorin, Kwara State, said her husband was the savior consequently she advised Nigerian ladies not to vote in favor of Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), the presidential applicant of the All Progressives Congress. "Nigerian ladies, in the event that they (APC) come, let them know that your mom said you ought not hear them out. They don't have anything to offer. They don't have anything to issue you, Nigerian ladies; on the grounds that the fight has as of now been vanquished, God has opened the path for us. God has cut down the savior for us. What's more PDP is the savior. Goodluck is the savior," the President's wife said at the Peoples Democratic Party's ladies presidential rally in Ilorin.
She asked Buhari to leave governmental issues and administration to more youthful individuals.
"I am a man that will come clean. I won't misuse individuals, yet in the event that you are old you are old, so abandon it to more youthful individuals," she said in a hidden reference to her husbands's primary challenger, whom the PDP had said was so old it would have been impossible possess the President's office.
Buhari was conceived 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.”
