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.”
