Opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), today described wife of Nigerian president, Mrs Patience Jonathan as an incredibly crude woman.
APC through its Presidential Campaign Organisation (PCO) in a statement signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu said, "It is not only insulting for Mrs. Jonathan to describe the Presidential Candidate of APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, as brain-dead, it is also demeaning of her status as the First Lady."
It would be recalled that Mrs. Jonathan had qualified Buhari as a
brain dead at a campaign rally in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital.
The opposition party therefore charged President Goodluck Jonathan to call his wife to order.
According to Shehu, "It was discourteous and inexcusable for a wife of any president with a modicum of decency to make such a false and infantile pronouncement about the health status of another man on account of politics.
"It was below the standard of a wife of a president to stoop so low to call for violent attacks against members of the opposition.
"While a good number of Nigerians are not taken by surprise by Mrs. Jonathan’s recent incredulous pronouncements, it is important for her husband to put her in bridles in the spirit of the Abuja Peace Accord.
"The APCPCO similarly observed that as much as indecent and disgraceful the outbursts of Mrs. Jonathan was, it was an attempting to pull the wool over the eyes of Nigerians about her husband’s incompetence to lead the country.
"It is typical of the PDP’s modus operandi to confuse Nigerians with mundane issues instead of the issues of corruption, for which her husband has achieved an unbeaten record; his appalling lack of capacity to secure life and property of citizens and a glaring incompetence in dealing with the challenges facing the country."
