Patience Jonathan’s speech, empty – Ekiti APC

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has said wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan made empty promises to the people of the state without stating achievements of her husband in the state. 

Reacting to Mrs Jonathan’s speech at a rally in Ado Ekiti on Monday, for PDP women’s rally, the State Publicity Secretary of APC , Taiwo Olatubosun, on Tuesday, in a statement party noted that her speech lacked the grace of a First Lady. 

Olatubosun said, “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, Governor Ayo Fayose, in an empty campaign comedy to a thoroughly dazed enlightened Ekiti people. 

He continued “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.” 

The APC also condemned Mrs. Jonathan relentless attack on the APC presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.). 

APC said “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, Mrs Jonathan was telling Nigerians ‎that Fayose is a candidate for the prison if Buhari wins.” 

Olatubosun asked Mrs Jonathan to tell the people of the state 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. 

“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 added. 

He said that the people of Ekiti had made up their minds to vote Buhari,because they would not vote a regime that did not hold any promise for their future.
