Women group in Borno state known as
Forum of retired female civil servants led by Dr. Aishatu Gulde have
put Nigeria’s first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan on blast for always
abusing Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, APC; BSF reports.
Speaking at a press conference organized
on behalf of women and mothers in Borno state on Wednesday, the group
said, “We are here today because we have been pushed to the walls and
anyone that is pushed to the walls has to react.
We can no longer fold our arms to watch them say all manner of things against our son, General Muhammadu Buhari.
What they are saying is a slap on our
faces as women of northern extraction. They say we gave birth to
children and throw them on the streets to become Boko Haram.
”The First Lady has never come to Borno
state but we have seen her supporting even other countries; never has
she come to see for herself what the Borno people are actually passing
through. She only sits in Abuja and passes judgement on what she knows
nothing about. Our governor is trying. He has not rested. His wife has
not rested but the President and his wife are not giving them breathing
space.
Enough is enough as we cannot continue
to watch them treat our people as second class citizens. ”The president
has his enemies within and they are people like Fayose, Fani Kayode and
Edwin Clark. They are abusing our governor to the extent that, Fani
Koyode is saying that the governor will go to jail over the Chibok
girls’ issue.
We are calling on them to stop this hate
speeches as we do not want division in the north between Christians and
Muslim. ”Patience is saying that Buhari is an old man and recently they
stoned the convoy of Buhari’s wife.
If Buhari is old, I believe that Patient
Jonathan is not any younger than Buhari to say the fact because as a
woman we know how women hide their age behind make ups to look younger,
therefore, we are saying enough is enough”.Credit: omojuwa.com
