God has told me APC will fail - Mrs. Jonathan
First Lady, Mrs. Dame Patience Jonathan yesterday declared that God has revealed to her that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would fail in the forthcoming elections.
Speaking at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) women presidential campaign rally in Ilorin, Kwara State, Mrs. Jonathan described the APC as a party of propaganda and a "spare drug" which would not offer Nigerians any good.
Mrs. Jonathan's visit to the state coincided with that of the wife of the APC presidential candidate, Mrs. Aishat Buhari, who was also on citizens' outreach and advocacy visit to the state.
Mrs. Buhari's team left Ilorin International Airport on Tuesday morning before the arrival of Mrs. Jonathan around 12: 43 pm.
The First Lady, who spoke at the rally held at the Lower Niger River Basin premises for over 40 minutes in English and pidgin, told Kwara women not to be deceived by the earlier visitors.
"Don't be deceived, don't listen to them. Don't look at any woman that come here o. They are deceiving themselves because their husbands have said there is no office to carry women," she said.
According to her, the opposition candidate was not "fit to rule". "Remember, they were heads of state before, they were presidents before, in their cabinet, they did not choose any woman. No woman was carried along o," she stated, adding that the APC candidate would reverse Nigeria's progress if elected.
However, she urged women not be lured to foment trouble during the election, saying her husband would win the March 28 poll as revealed to her by God Almighty.
She said, "Nigerian women, if they come, don't listen to them, they have nothing to offer, they have nothing to give you Nigerian women because the battle has already been conquered. God don open the day for us, God has brought out the messiah and PDP is the messiah and Goodluck is the messiah.
"So wetin you go take spare drugs do? Spare drugs dey kill o or una don see where APC cure person? If you go drink am, you die o. No go near APC, na spare drug, adulterated drugs."
The First Lady also stated that the present government in the state was operating on a stolen mandate, declaring that PDP would recover its mandate on April 11.
"This state is PDP. They have only stolen the mandate. They sit down there in the name of PDP. So, we PDP will take it from them because it is our mandate. We will take it from them because everyday, they changed from one name to the spare drug, to another name. Very soon, na Ebola they will answer. When they change finish, they will change to another name and answer Ebola because I know that they will fail. My God I serve has told me that they will fail," she said.
