Nigeria’s First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, on Monday advised Enugu women not to cast their votes for General Muhammadu Buhari of the APC, else they would end up in prison custody with their husbands.
The First Lady spoke during PDP women rally at the Michael Okpara Square, Enugu.
While reeling out names of prominent Igbo personalities, including late Biafra warlord, Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu, who she said were all imprisoned by Buhari, she urged the women to reject APC in order to escape such experience.
Mrs. Jonathan stated that while Jonathan’s government had been busy building schools, Buhari’s sole agenda was to build prisons.
She added that the APC does not know the meaning of corruption, neither do they know the meaning of change which they have been clamouring for.
The First Lady insisted that members of the APC were more corrupt than the people they were accusing of being corrupt, saying that if they wanted to indulge in campaign of calumny, the PDP was ready to give it to them.
“APC does not know the meaning of corruption. They don’t know the meaning of corruption. They say they want change; they don’t know the meaning of change. Shall we change from good to bad?
“They are more corrupt than any other person. If we open cans of warms, they will run. Let us open our can of warms and see if they will not run”, the First Lady said.
She wondered what Buhari forgot in government that he wanted to come back to collect saying,”we reject Buhari and his party. Holy Ghost fire. What did he forget at Government House that he wants to come to collect?”
She maintained that APC was a dead party that had started running helter skelter.
“APC is an expired drug”, she said and urged women to vote for her husband en-masse.
Dame Jonathan said there was future in PDP led administration that had done so much in the area of women empowerment, agriculture, health, power, education among others.
She urged voters to vote, protect their vote, and to resist any attempt to intimidate them after voting.
