What Did You Call Corruption? Patient Jonathan Explain by oladele97(op): 11:08am On Mar 15, 2015
Nigeria’s First Lady, Patience
Jonathan, on Friday took to the
podium to explain to women in
Akwa Ibom State the meaning of
‘corruption’.
While addressing the crowd during
the Peoples Democratic Party
Women Presidential Rally in Uyo,
Mrs. Jonathan said the promise by
the All Progressives Congress to
fight corruption were “all lies”.
“Akwa Ibom people, judge o.
Because we are not here for lies.
We are not here for propaganda.
Because their own number one
campaign is corruption. As if them
are not corrupt. They are not
corrupt,” Mrs. Jonathan said.
“What do you call corruption? He
has a house. You, are you living
outside? Are you living in the
forest? It’s corruption.
“In abroad, if a young boy works so
hard and buy a copter, we praise
the boy. But in Nigeria, if a young
boy works so hard and buy a
copter, we say he’s corrupt. Why?
“Why can’t we encourage the
young ones to grow? Why can’t we
encourage them to do better? We,
our mother born us and train us,
why they train us is that we should
be better than them. Are we to
bring the young ones down? It’s
not our portion.”
Mrs. Jonathan urged the women
not to vote for the APC because,
according to her, they have
nothing to offer.
“A bird at hand is worth a million in
the bush. Nigerian women, let us
shine our eyes. Women of Nigeria,
are you ready to go to prison? Are
you ready to go and give your
father food in the prison? It is not
our portion. We reject it.
“Akwa Ibom State is a PDP state.
It’s not for expired drugs, because
APC cannot heal you, outdated
drugs cannot heal you. Let them
call it any name. Just like as my
husband younger brother
(Governor Akpabio) have said, they
will continue changing name until
they will reach Ebola. And they will
call it Ebola.
“You know what Ebola normally do?
Although Dr. Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan has said Nigeria is not Ebola country. So
they cannot bring Ebola to Nigeria because Dr.
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and PDP government
will wipe it off. And they will bury it, because it
cannot stay here at all.
“So let them continue changing their name. If
they fail this time, because I know they have
failed, you will hear they will change their name
again. They will change it and answer another
name.”
Helen Mark, wife of Senate President, David Mark;
Amina Sambo, wife of Vice President, Namadi
Sambo; as well as Kema Chikwe took turns to
urge the crowd to vote for the party.
Akon Eyakenyi, the Minister of Lands, Housing
and Urban development, was also in attendance.
Their speeches lasted barely 10 minutes.
When it was time for Mrs. Jonathan to deliver the
keynote, she rose from her seat, danced her way
to the podium, and spoke for about one hour.
“A good man borns (sic) a good son. You cannot
deliver what you don’t have, and that’s why he
has brought somebody that can also deliver you
from the APC. The one that will heal you,” Mrs.
Jonathan said of Mr. Akpabio and the PDP
gubernatorial candidate in the state.
The First Lady also described the PDP as a moving
train that is unstoppable.
“Remember I was here in 2011 and I came here, I
told you that PDP is a good party and I told you
vote Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and Sambo.
And you know that they will never fail you. And
they promised you 35 percent, and they fulfilled
their 35 percent,” she said.
“So you can see that your deputy governor today
is a product of 35 percent. You can see that the
minister today is a product of 35 percent. So I
have come again this time, 2015, to talk to you
again.”
Mrs. Jonathan said the PDP would increase the
quota of women’s participation in governance if
the party wins in the elections.
“We are here to tell you what PDP government
has done. We are here to tell you the truth,” she
said.
“We are not propagandaly (sic). We are not here
to deceive you. We are not here to lie for you.
Because whatever we say go and search because
you will see it.
“Remember when the men were campaigning, I
just follow them quietly because I was waiting for
them to give me go-ahead. I was waiting for them
to tell me what they have for Nigerian women.
“And they told me that this time we have given
you 35 percent, go and tell their women that if
they vote us back, that we are going to give them
45 percent.”
“Ask them, when they were there, what did they
do for you? Women of Nigeria, did they do
anything for you? This is the time they have come
to tell you ‘I will,’ I will what? What you did not do
before, is it now that you will come and do it?
“Remember that they were in that Aso Rock
before. All the things that they keep there, they
did not take it. Now they want to go back there.
Ask them a question, what do you forget there?
Won’t you leave Aso Rock for the new generation?
Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and Governor
Godswill Akpabio are the new generation.”
Mrs. Jonathan also stated that President Jonathan
is committed to improving the country’s health
sector.
“Under SURE-P, Goodluck said that for health
sector, that no woman will die again under
pregnancy. He said that all Nigerian women you
have died enough. Remember before PDP come
into power, every 100,000 live births a women
that born, 840 will die. 840 will die when they
were there o.
“When the people were there o, women were
afraid to born child. Women were afraid to
produce the kids. They cannot produce. They are
afraid, ‘I should not die.

When you go for medicare, drugs will be prescribed pending d outcome of your lab medical result/analysis based on your complaint. Nigeria is sick, BUHARI/OSHINBAJO is d prescribed medicament to start the healing process majority of Nigerians believe will cure our Nation's ill-health (to some extent, of course). We'll take APC till 2019 & see d end result. If d illness still persists without improvement, we'll change drugs.
Until 2019, Buhari is our medicament/First Aid!!!
