Checkout Patience Jonathan’s Explanation Of The Meaning Of Corruption
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outdated drugs cannot heal you.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.
