the All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate,
Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) will send her to
jail if he is elected.
In a manner typical of a prayer session, Patience, at
the Peoples Democratic Party rally in Ibadan, Oyo
State, on Wednesday, invoked the ‘Holy ghost fire’
to consume PDP’s opponents.
Patience also called on the crowd to vote for the PDP
at the polls.
Patience, who had earlier entertained the crowd of
supporters by dancing to household music tracks
such as ‘Kukere’ and ‘Personally,’ said the Goodluck
Jonathan-led government was a lover of women and
youths in the country and should, therefore, be
encouraged to continue.
She said, “I want to warn you not to listen to the All
Progressives Congress. The APC does not have
materials to match what the PDP has on (the)
ground. Their candidate was there in governance
initially. What did he do? They only sent your
fathers to prison.
“They are planning to even send me to prison. Holy
Ghost fire! Holy Ghost fire! Holy Ghost fire! They
have nothing to offer. They only say ‘I will’, ‘I will’.
“A train is moving and it has now got to Oyo State.
When we talk about train, some of you may have
not seen a train before now. The last time a train
moved in this country was when I was small and in
primary school.
“When my children were small, they asked me what
a train was. I had to take them to London and we
entered a train from London to Paris. But the PDP
government has brought this back to Nigeria. If you
want to see train working today, you don’t need to
travel again.”
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory,
Jumoke Akinjide, who spoke earlier, said Jonathan
deserved to be re-elected because he gave women 35
per cent representation in his cabinet.
She said, “I enjoin the women and youths of Oyo
State to vote for our party on Saturday. I have seen
a campaign advert by the APC in the newspapers
saying ‘God give us men’. But our prayer in the PDP
is different. We pray that God gives us men and
women.
“Jonathan is the first President in Nigeria to give
women 35 per cent. Going by the National
Conference report, the President has said that if
women have 35 per cent, youths will also have 30
per cent.
“I was looking at the list of the universities set up
by this administration, and I saw that one of them
was set up even in the hometown of his opponent –
Gen. Buhari. I think that if Buhari could not set up a
university in his own state, Jonathan has done it
and, therefore, deserves to continue.”
Other dignitaries at the event were the PDP
governorship candidate in the state, Senator Teslim
Folarin, his wife, Angela; wife of Ondo State
Governor, Mrs. Kemi Mimiko, and the party’s
senatorial candidates in Oyo State.
