Buhari’ll jail you if he wins, says Dame Jonathan insists that Wike is next Rivers Governor

The First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, warned the people of Rivers State yesterday not to vote the presidential can­didate of the All Progressives Con­gress (APC), General Mohammadu Buhari, on March 28.

Dame Jonathan gave the warning at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) women rally held at the Liberation Stadium, Elekahia, Port Harcourt. She said Buhari would jail his perceived political enemies, pointing out that, a dictator would always remain a dicta­tor.

According to her, Buhari can’t fight corruption. “Whenever he (Buhari) comes to you again, ask him what he did for Rivers State when he was Head of State”. The First Lady warned the women not to sell their Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs), adding that they must vote out “this expired drug called APC”.

She listed out the achievements of the PDP-led government under Presi­dent Goodluck Jonathan, declaring that the party would install Chief Nyesom Wike as the next governor. “PDP will install Nyesom Wike as governor be­cause President Jonathan is a lion and he gave birth to a lion”.

On the political crisis in the state, Dame Jonathan said she would not descend low to join issues with them because “they are rascals and I will not respond to them. “Don’t let me open my mouth to talk about these rascals. The Rivers monorail will not be com­pleted until 100 years. It will remain like that until my great grand-children are born”.

She reiterated that PDP mandate in the state had remained former gover­nor, Sir Celestine Omehia, stressing that the party’s train was on the move, warning of the consequences of any hitch on its way.

“We, did not vote for these people. We, in Rivers State voted Celestine Omehia, but these people came and took our mandate away and, today, they are abusing us. They don’t have respect for elders. They are busy abus­ing me and my husband. I will not an­swer them. In Rivers State, we respect elders, but these rascals have no respect for their elders. We must vote them out in April”, she said.

“The train has moved down to Riv­ers State. And you know, when a train moves, until it reaches its destination, anyone that stands on its way, you know what would happen to the train and you know what would befall that person. You will know, but it is not Pa­tience that said so. The train will say so. You know what happens.

“So, the train is moving and it has branched to Rivers State. Come March 28 and April 11, the destination of the train would be completed. If you are on the way of the train, you know what will happen to you”, she warned.
