Mrs. Jonathan, who spoke at a rally organised by the women wing of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the National Stadium, Lagos, said: “I reject to carry food to my husband in prison and l wish you too should reject such an offer.
“The only way to reject this option is to vote for my husband in the election so that he can continue to listen to you. You will not carry food to your husband in prison.
“Let me tell you while we are building schools, they are building prisons, which they want to send us to. So, l implore you to reject this offer and vote for my husband, President Goodluck Jonathan, so that he can give you more opportunities to do your business.”
Dame Patience, who told her audience that Jonathan had fulfilled his mandate to the people by building roads, schools and providing health facilities, said if re-elected, the President would increase the women quota for government positions from 35 per cent to 45 per cent
“Jonathan will give us more women ministers. There is a lot of skill acquisition and free grants from N1 million to N10 million for Nigerian women by the Jonathan administration.
“I want to appeal to you to vote all the candidates of PDP in Lagos State and Jonathan for President. By so doing, you are going to witness more developments in the country. I can assure you that my husband will not disappoint you. Please, don’t listen to all the side talks; they want to distract your attention,” she said.
The PDP governorship candidate in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, urged voters to elect him as governor.
PDP’s National Woman Leader Ambassador Kema Chikwe said the nation was blessed with a First Lady “doing all within her power to give more to the Nigerian women”.
“Patience Jonathan has written her name in the history of Nigeria as the best First Lady Nigeria ever had,” she said.
