While speaking on Tuesday at a PDP women presidential campaign rally in Kogi state, Patience Jonathan, the wife of Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, described APC’s presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari as unfit to rule the country because he is brain dead. She also urged the women to obtain their permanent voter cards (PVCs) in order to ensure full participation in the forthcoming general elections.
“Wetin him dey find again? Him dey drag with him pikin mate,” she said in pidgin English. “Old man wey no get brain, him brain don die pata pata.”
Moved by the cheers of the crowd, the first lady sporadically sang to taunt her husband’s main challenger at this month’s presidential election.
“If you vote Buhari, na your prison; if you vote APC, na your wahala,” she sang. “What is change? Why did you not change things when you were there? Is it now that you want to be doing the things you weren’t doing before?
“Jonathan looked at us and said women, I am giving you the position of the chief justice of this country. Okonjo-Iweala is a woman, Diezani is a woman. Seventy percent of his cabinet are women.
“He also gave us the opportunity to start enrolling for the regular combatant course at the NDA (Nigerian Defence Academy).
“He wants continuity because he has vowed to do more. He places Nigerians in his mind and if he says he will do this, he will do it. So what are we looking for? If we women of Nigeria don’t appreciate Goodluck and we are looking for bus conductor, it is left for us.”
