Fear of Buhari grips Jonathan's wife; says he'll jail opponents if he becomes President

Wife of the president, Mrs Patience Jonathan, has raised an alarm, insisting that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, will fill prisons with his political enemies, if elected.

Mrs Jonathan said this at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) women rally held at the Liberation Stadium, Port Harcourt, on Wednesday.

She also admonished the people of Rivers State not to vote for Buhari in the election because “once a dictator will always remain a dictator.”

“Buhari does not have what it takes to fight corruption,” adding that “whenever he comes to you again, ask him what he did for Rivers State when he was head of state,” she said.

The First Lady warned the women not to sell their permanent voter cards (PVC) for any amount of money, noting that it was within their power to vote out “this expired drug called APC.”

She said PDP would install Chief Nyesom Wike as the next governor of the state “because President Jonathan is a lion and he gave birth to a lion.”

Commenting on the allegation by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that she had a hand in the political crisis rocking the state, particularly the one at Okrika, Mrs Jonathan said she would not condescend so low to join issues with them because “they are rascal and I will not respond to them.”
