First
Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has claimed that the All Progressives
Congress Presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) was
planning to send her to jail if he is elected.
The president’s
wife literarily turned the Peoples Democratic Party rally in Ibadan, Oyo
State, to a prayer session as she called the ‘Holy ghost fire’ to
consume anyone opposing her husband’s second term bid.
Patience also called on the crowd to vote for the PDP at the polls slated for Saturday, March 28.
In
her usual hilarious manner, Mama Peace, as she’s fondly called sent the
crowd into frenzy after she danced to music tracks such as ‘Kukere’ and
‘Personally’ by Iyanya and PSquare respectively.
She said, “I
want to warn you not to listen to the All Progressives Congress. The APC
does not have materials to match what the PDP has on (the) ground.
Their candidate was there in governance initially. What did he do? They
only sent your fathers to prison.
“They are planning to even send
me to prison. Holy Ghost fire! Holy Ghost fire! Holy Ghost fire! They
have nothing to offer. They only say ‘I will’, ‘I will’.
“A
train is moving and it has now got to Oyo State. When we talk about
train, some of you may have not seen a train before now. The last time a
train moved in this country was when I was small and in primary school.
“When
my children were small, they asked me what a train was. I had to take
them to London and we entered a train from London to Paris. But the PDP
government has brought this back to Nigeria. If you want to see train
working today, you don’t need to travel again.”
Earlier in her
remark, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Jumoke Akinjide,
said Jonathan deserved to be re-elected because he gave women 35 per
cent representation in his cabinet.
She said, “I enjoin the women
and youths of Oyo State to vote for our party on Saturday. I have seen a
campaign advert by the APC in the newspapers saying ‘God give us men’.
But our prayer in the PDP is different. We pray that God gives us men
and women.
“Jonathan is the first President in Nigeria to give
women 35 per cent. Going by the National Conference report, the
President has said that if women have 35 per cent, youths will also have
30 per cent.
“I was looking at the list of the universities set
up by this administration, and I saw that one of them was set up even in
the hometown of his opponent – Gen. Buhari. I think that if Buhari could not set up a university in his own state, Jonathan has done it and, therefore, deserves to continue.”Other
dignitaries at the event were the PDP governorship candidate in the
state, Senator Teslim Folarin, his wife, Angela; wife of Ondo State
Governor, Mrs. Kemi Mimiko, and the party’s senatorial candidates in Oyo
State.
