Nigeria’s First Lady Patience Jonathan said the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) dead.
Patience, who spoke on Monday in Onitsha, Anambra State at the PDP’s women rally, said the APC would be finally laid to rest on Saturday, March 28.
She stated that the defection of the Rivers State Deputy Governor, Tele Ikuru, was another clear indication that the APC was long dead, adding that the party would continue to change names until it was buried.
“Imagine the deputy of a whole director-general of the APC presidential campaign decamping, does that not show that the party is dead? The party is dead and buried and March 28 is its burial. The party will not live again. When you start answering old drugs, expired drugs, then you know that your death is coming closer. The way things are going, APC will soon bear Ebola.
“Is Mbakwe [ex-Imo state governor] corrupt? Yet you jailed him. What of Jim Nwobodo [former Anambra state governor]? Yet you jailed him. Don’t support a man that would imprison your mother and father. Jonathan is our messiah. He made Ihejiriaka the chief of army staff and has helped many of our people. Igbos are not fools. We know whom to support. PDP has come to stay.”
Patience, who told the people not to cast their votes for the APC unless the wished to spend their lives in prison with their husbands, noted that while President Jonathan will be building schools, Muhammadu Buhari would only build prisons if elected into office.
