Buhari will send you to jail, Patience Jonathan warns women

Dame Patience Jonathan

Ahead of the general elections, the wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, has charged the people of Rivers State not to vote for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Mohammadu Buhari(retd.), to avoid being sent to jail.

Mrs. Jonathan said Buhari would not hesitate to put his perceived enemies in prison if he wins the forthcoming presidential poll, holding on March 28.

Speaking during the Peoples Democratic Party’s women rally in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, the President’s wife argued that Buhari was a dictator in the past and would never change.

She pointed out that the former Head of State did not possess the quality needed to fight corruption, maintaining that Buhari did nothing for the people of the state when he was the head of state.

The President’s wife appealed to women not to sell their Permanent Voter Cards for any amount of money,  adding that it was within their capability to vote out the APC in the state.

“Whenever he (Buhari) comes to you again, ask him what he did for Rivers State when he was (the) Head of State. It is within your power to vote out this ‘expired drug’ called APC,” she said.

Mrs. Jonathan listed the achievements of the Federal Government in Rivers, promising that the PDP would install Chief Nyesom Wike as the next governor of the state.

She said, “PDP will install Nyesom Wike as governor because President (Goodluck) Jonathan is a lion and he gave birth to a lion.”

The President’s wife, who spoke on the attack on APC rally in Okrika Local Government Area, explained that she was not ready to join issues with APC members, saying, “They are rascals and I will not respond to them.

“Don’t let me open my mouth to talk about these rascals. The Rivers monorail will not be completed until hundred (years). It will remain like that until my great grandchildren are born.

“We did not vote for these people. We in Rivers State voted Celestine Omehia, but these people came and took our mandate away and today they are abusing us. They don’t have respect for elders.

“They are busy abusing me and my husband. I will not answer them. In Rivers State, we respect elders but these rascals have no respect for their elders. We must vote them out in April.”
