Dame Patience Jonathan expressed her assurance that the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is the only party that represents the
interest of Nigerian women.
According to P.M. News, the First Lady made the remark at the PDP
Presidential Campaign Rally in Enugu on January 9, 2015, Friday.
In the beginning of her statement she thanked the Igbo people for casting their votes for President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011.
She further called on women to vote for Jonathan for the second term because he would further uplift their status and presence in the Federal Government.
The President’s wife assured that “PDP is the only party that has the interests of women at heart.”
“Women should vote for a president who gave us 35 per cent affirmative action and the opportunity to be heard.
“Women who are yet to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) should endeavor to do so to be able to vote for the president in February,” the First Lady added.
Patience Jonathan reminded that during the presidential campaign in 2011, she and her husband were also in Enugu to gain the support of the Igbo.
“We promised them that they would not enter the villa through the backdoor and we fulfilled our promises.
“Today, we have come again to solicit for your votes for better benefits to Igbo and the womenfolk.”
At the end of the statement the First Lady expressed her confidence in the ability of President Jonathan to make the country better and more developed.
Addressing the people of Enugu, Goodluck Jonathan, in his turn, made a loud statement. The President assured that the best way to fight corruption was through improved technology and not by jailing people for 300 years.
“With technology, you can track down criminals. I am not going to run Nigeria on my heartbeat but according to international best practices.”
