How Dame Jonathan Naively Revealed Her Fears For Buhari

The International Criminal Court (ICC) yesterday, March 16, said that Nigeria’s First Lady Patience Jonathan is liable to prosecution. This coming as a response to the All Progressives Congress petition to the global body, with the opposition party accusing the president’s wife of trying to incite violence with a statement she made in calabar.
But just as many thought this was going to put an end to Dame Patience Jonathan’s drama, the sight of a much bigger event wasn’t envisaged.
It would be recalled that when a famous quote of Mrs Patience Jonathan on General Buhari appeared on all media tabloids and websites sometime last week; “Wetin him dey find again? Him dey drag with him pikin mate. Old man wey no get brain, him brain don die pata pata,” the one thing that got everyone talking was what probably might have triggered such a statement from the First Lady of the country.
But with barely few days after the first lady utterance was reported, the true reason behind Patience Jonathan’s statement on General Buhari might well have been revealed unknowingly by no other person but “Mama Peace” herself.
While speaking in Ado Ekiti, on Monday, March 16, during the rally of the women’s wing of the Peoples Democratic Party, the first lady fears for General Buhari was well revealed in her newsworthy utterances, one of which she said; “What did they forget in Aso rock? If you vote PDP and Jonathan, it would be better for you. If you vote 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!”
Below are excerpts from Patience Jonathan’s speech in Ekiti which are quite newsworthy to note:

1. “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”.

2. “They said there is no office of the First Lady. Already, we know that there is no Office of the First Lady but there is wife of the President. As (the) wife of the President, if you are good, people will love you. You will have a Non-Governmental Organisation through which you will touch people’s lives. That is why I brought Women for Change Initiative.”

3. “If you drink APC, you will die. 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. Nigerian women shine your eyes, don’t go for analogue, go for digital. PDP is digital, APC is analogue.”

4. “This is the time to say thank you so that he will do more. Those people when they were there, they said we didn’t have brains. Jonathan came and lifted us from where we were lying helplessly.”
5. “What did they forget in Aso rock? If you vote PDP and Jonathan, it would be better for you. If you vote 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!”

It should be noted that Dame Patience has recently been involved in a series of controversies over her scandalous quotes directed at the opposition.

She was criticized over trying to incite violence in the country ahead of the general elections. To which the president’s wife responded that she is “a woman of peace” who hates violence.
