First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan has called on Nigerian women to reject the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) as they would take the country backwards.
Dame Jonathan spoke at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Women for Change Initiative Presidential Rally at Orerokpe, Okple local government area of Delta state
She went on to list a number of achievements of the current administration, headed by her husband, President Goodluck Jonathan, including the Youth Enterprise With Innovation in Nigeria (YouWin) and Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P).
She said: “The PDP is a party that talks less and does more, unlike the APC that tells new lies every week. When you catch them today, they will tell another lie tomorrow. We (PDP) do not tell you about change because we are not bus conductors that ask for change.
“We are now in a digital age and we should reject anyone who wants to take us back to analog days. They keep saying they will do this and that. They should tell us what they have done for Nigerians while in office. As for President Jonathan, he has vowed to do more when he is re-elected.
“President Jonathan has brought a lot of innovation and empowerment programmes for us women. This is because no one loves the Nigerian woman more than Mr. President and the best way to pay him back is by re-electing him.”
Also speaking briefly at the rally was the Delta State Governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan who posited thus: “When someone does well in office, you should return that person to office and that is why all Deltans are prepared to re-elect President Jonathan as President, come March 28.”
