So much for all her fiery speeches,one would have thought her royal highness wasn't afraid of going to jail.
THE First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, said
yesterday she was afraid of going to jail, if the
presidential candidate of the All Progressive
Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, wins
the March 28 election.
Mrs. Jonathan, who spoke at a rally organised by
the women wing of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) at the National Stadium, Lagos, said: “I
reject to carry food to my husband in prison and l
wish you too should reject such an offer.
“The only way to reject this option is to vote for
my husband in the election so that he can
continue to listen to you. You will not carry food
to your husband in prison.
“Let me tell you while we are building schools,
they are building prisons, which they want to
send us to. So, l implore you to reject this offer
and vote for my husband, President Goodluck
Jonathan, so that he can give you more
opportunities to do your business.”
Dame Patience, who told her audience that
Jonathan had fulfilled his mandate to the people
by building roads, schools and providing health
facilities, said if re-elected, the President would
increase the women quota for government
positions from 35 per cent to 45 per cent
“Jonathan will give us more women ministers.
There is a lot of skill acquisition and free grants
from N1 million to N10 million for Nigerian
women by the Jonathan administration.
“I want to appeal to you to vote all the
candidates of PDP in Lagos State and Jonathan
for President. By so doing, you are going to
witness more developments in the country. I can
assure you that my husband will not disappoint
you. Please, don’t listen to all the side talks; they
want to distract your attention,” she said.
