Patience Jonathan Is A Comedian - APC

The Ekiti state chapter of the All Progressives
Congress has described yesterday’s visit by
Nigeria’s first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan to
the state as a “mere entertainment and comical
show”.
The opposition party opined that Mrs. Jonathan
only showcased her theatrics prowess instead of
focusing on issue-based campaign to list her
husband’s achievements in Ekiti in the last four
years and outline what his plans for the state are if
he wins.
According to the The Nation, the party also advised
the First Lady to take a cue from the wife of its
presidential candidate, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, who the
party said has shown class and panache in her
campaign engagements, giving hope to Nigerians
for a serious and purposeful leadership that will
take Nigeria back on track of development.
In a statement on Tuesday by its Publicity
Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, the party said the
First Lady only came to Ekiti state to entertain the
indigenes.
He regretted that Mrs. Jonathan and host Governor
Ayo Fayose treated Ekiti people and other
Nigerians watching the event life on the television
with comedy.
According to him: “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.
“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 also condemned the frequent verbal attacks by
the first lady on APC presidential candidate,
General Muhammadu Buhari.
He said: “She was consistently painting Buhari as
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.”
He stressed that Ekiti people had made up their
minds to vote Buhari, because according to him,
they had become wiser and would not vote a
regime that did not hold any promise for their
future.
The first lady had said in the rally that she is not
ready to carry food for her husband in prison.

his wife are planning to assassinate him.
