Patience Jonathan who was recently campaigning in Rivers State described the opposition as being disrespectful of her and the President, calling them ‘rascals’ for not having respect for their elders. The First lady said this in reference to the incident at the APC rally in Okrika on 17th February, where she and her husband were heaped with abuses from the opposition party. She also said that the River State monorail will not be completed until 100 years if these abuses are not relented and endorsed PDP candidate Celestine Omehia.
“They are rascals and I will not respond to them. Don’t let me open my mouth to talk about these rascals. The Rivers monorail will not be completed until hundred (years). It will remain like that until my great grandchildren are born. 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.”
