Call Your Wife to Order Now, APC Tells President Jonathan

By Ehi Ekhator, Naija Center News

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has expressed disappointment over what it referred to as the “ unguarded and extremely shameful” statements from the wife of the President of Nigeria, Dame Patience Jonathan.

The party advised the President, Goodluck Jonathan to call his wife to order before it’s too late.

In a statement signed by the State Publicly Secretary, Senibo Chris Finebone on Tuesday in Rivers State, the APC reminded the first lady that, an ex-first lady in Ivory Coast had been jailed 20 years over her role in the political violence that took place in the country.

The party said the response to her several unexpected statements is necessary since she has, in the past two weeks, descended into the abyss of opprobrious indecency with her words and body language.

It could be recalled that Dame Patience had described the APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) as ‘brain dead’ and also lambasted him in unprintable words, likening him to the grandfather of the President.

APC said “As a nation already tired of her challenges with our second language watched on, the First Lady upped her game by foraging into areas where even angels fear to tread. By going beyond insulting General Buhari to taunting the section Buhari hails from as procreating uncontrollably, the APC wants to believe someone should caution Mrs. Patience Jonathan to be aware of the ensuing whirlwind that will result from the wind she is planting.

“Our people do not give birth to uncountable children. Our men don’t give birth to children they dump in the streets. We are not like people from that part of the country”.  – Mrs. Patience Jonathan.

“The APC would like to inform Mrs. Jonathan that the Ivory Coast’s former first lady, Simone Gbagbo, has just been sentenced to 20 years in jail for her role in the violence that followed the 2010 elections in that country. This should be instructive to our First Lady that her utterances have far-reaching consequences, good or bad. And how she ends up in history remains her responsibility, meaning that she should hold herself responsible for whatever her verbal incontinence and indiscretion brings to her, now or in the future.

“It is important to remind our dear First Lady that wars and conflicts have, sometimes, been caused by wrong people finding themselves in the right places as we seem to have now.  But when the bell tolls, everyone will answer according his or her deeds but not before the damage is already done and lives lost.

“However, it is the hope of the APC that Mr. President will do what any good husband does: call the wife to order. This will avert the fast growing anger building up in our brothers and sisters from the North who perceive her recent demeaning utterances as a collective insult. A stitch in time, they say, saves nine!”
