The All Progressives Congress
Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCPCO) has called President
Goodluck Jonathan to call his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan, to order,
describing her as “an incredibly crude woman.”
The APC Campaign, which made the call Wednesday in a statement signed
by its Director of Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, however expressed
gratitude to Nigerians for putting up with her.
The APCPCO said in the statement issued in Abuja that it is not only
insulting for Mrs. Jonathan to describe the presidential candidate of
APC, General Muhammadu Buhari , as “brain-dead,” it is also demeaning of
her status as the First Lady.
The statement observed that it was discourteous and inexcusable for a
wife of any president with a modicum of decency to make such a false
and infantile pronouncement about the health status of another man on
account of politics.
The APCPCO recalled that in recent time, Mrs. Jonathan had made
statements invoking violence like she did in Calabar over the weekend
when she urged PDP supporters to “stone” all those canvassing for
change.
Shehu said that it was below the standard of a wife of a president to
stoop so low to call for violent attacks against members of the
opposition.
The statement noted that while a good number of Nigerians are not
taken by surprise by Mrs. Jonathan’s recent incredulous pronouncements,
it is important for her husband to put her in bridles in the spirit of
the Abuja Peace Accord.
The APCPCO similarly observed that much as indecent and disgraceful
the outbursts of Mrs. Jonathan was in attempting to pull the wool over
the eyes of Nigerians about her husband’s incompetence to lead the
country, it is typical of the PDP’s modus operandi to confuse Nigerians
with mundane issues instead of the issues of corruption, for which her
husband has achieved an unbeaten record; his appalling lack capacity to
secure life and property of citizens and a glaring incompetence in
dealing with the challenges facing the economy.
