latest controversial outburst occurred on Monday in Ekiti State during
the rally of the women’s wing of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP),
when she stated that she is not ready to feed her husband in prison.
What did they forget in Aso Rock? If you vote the PDP and Jonathan, it
would be better for you. If you vote the APC, you will go to prison. How
can you jail somebody for 300 years? I’m not ready to carry food to my
husband inside prison oh!
Since my father was born, they have been around changing from one name
to another. Very soon they would answer Ebola. The name can’t change
you; it is only performance that can change you. If you like change it
100 times
PDP is not a party that tells lies. Whatever we promise to do, we do.
We are not a propagandist party. Ekiti women, your mother is here and I
will not tell you lies, but the truth
Nigerian women shine your eyes o! Vote with what you have seen, who you
already know and who has performed. If anyone is telling you change,
they are deceiving you
people that when they were there before Goodluck Jonathan, they did not
count you women as anything. But today, PDP has wiped away our tears.
Jonathan has wiped off our tears. He has fulfilled his promise of giving
women 35 per cent participation. He gave 16 seats to women out of 42
slots in his cabinet. He is a performer.
Well, the APC has reacted.
In a statement by the State Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, on
Tuesday, the party noted that her speech lacked the grace of a First
Lady.
“Throughout her speech, she manifested an image of a village
masquerade providing a momentary comic relief to a poverty-ravaged
community not in a hurry for socio-economic salvation.”
“You would have thought that the First Lady would list her husband’s
achievements in Ekiti State and then give the people some hope that her
husband would build upon those achievements, but she engaged in a duet
with her host and soul mate, Ayo Fayose, in an empty campaign comedy to a
thoroughly dazed enlightened Ekiti people.”
“It was a perfect duet by two comedians that one does not need any
counsel that Nigeria must be rescued from the captivity of the costumed
people of power without responsibility,” he said.
The APC also criticized Patience for relentless attack on the APC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari
She was consistently painting Buhari a man that would herd Nigerians
into jail without committing any crime whereas Buhari only insisted that
criminals during his coming administration would go to jail.
“She said she was not ready to prepare food for Fayose in jail.
Inadvertently, Jonathan was telling Nigerians that Fayose is a
candidate for the prison if Buhari wins,” he added.
Olatubosun challenged patience to tell Ekiti people the benefits of
SURE-P she flaunted at the rally, saying the programme was just a
bazaar for a few selfish party leaders without any benefit for the
entire citizenry.
He also faulted her claim that women were appointed into government
positions in Ekiti State by Fayose, saying this was a clear case of
falsehood, which had become synonymous with Jonathan’s administration.
“Fayose has a four-man cabinet running his government. Apart from the
Secretary to the State Government, where are the other women Fayose has
appointed? Mrs. Jonathan only came to Ekiti to entertain in a political
theatre full of deceits and false props constructed by Fayose for
maximum personal profits,” Olatubosun explained.
Stressing that Ekiti people had made up their minds to vote Buhari,
he added that they had become wiser and would not vote a regime that
did not hold any promise for their future.
