The First Lady, Dame Patience
Jonathan, has advised the people of Rivers State not to vote for the
presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), retired General
Muhammadu Buhari on the March 28 election, because if he wins he will imprison
them.
She added that Buhari would fill all
the prisons in the country by jailing anybody he perceives to be his political
enemy, saying that once a dictator, he will remain a dictator.
Mrs Jonathan, who spoke yesterday in
Port Harcourt, during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) women presidential
campaign rally, said the APC presidential candidate does not have what it takes
to fight corruption, saying: “Whenever he (Buhari) comes to you again, ask him
what he did for Rivers State when he was Head of State.”
The First Lady warned the women not
to sell their permanent voter cards (PVCs) for any sum of money, noting that it
was within their power to vote out the “expired drug called APC.”
Dame Jonathan, who enumerated the
achievements of the Federal Government in the state, said PDP would install
Barrister Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike as the next governor of the state.
“PDP will install Nyesom Wike as
governor because President Jonathan is a lion and he gave birth to a lion,” She
said.
On the political crisis in the state
which had been linked to her by the APC particularly the Okrika shooting
incident, the First Lady said she would not condescend so low to join issues
with those accusing her of being responsible for the violence.
“They are rascal and I will not
respond to them. Don’t let me open my mouth to talk about these rascals.
“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,” Dame Jonathan said.
