Hahaha! Mama Peace takes on the ‘bus conductors’
The First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has stated that her husband and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are not bus conductors, hence they don’t offer change, unlike the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) which slogan is anchored on change.
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.
Mrs. Jonathan who was speaking at Orerokpe, Okpe Local Government Area of Delta State, at the PDP Women for Change Initiative Presidential Rally, Thursday, also charged women in the country to vote for the PDP, stressing that any woman who votes for APC, is an enemy of herself.
She applauded hat she said was the benevolence of the PDP administration to women in the country, citing the Youth Enterprise With Innovation in Nigeria, YouWin and Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme, SUREP, as some of the empowerment programmes the President Jonathan administration was using to empower women and youths in the country.
She also said,
“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.”
In his remark, the state governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, while applauding the developmental achievements of President Jonathan, said: “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.”

These people are silly tho. In as much as I don’t subscribe to the general being elected the president of this great nation. I think the Jonathan administration is the viper the Bible talked about. Tell me what you will do for me. As the president Nigeria is your constituency. Have you built roads for me? Have you given me 24 hours of electricity? Does the water board see to it that the sumo that my land lady had installed to give me water is of total use? If no. Why? If yes, where did this project cover? What is the opposition promising? I heard and saw that they will give a plate of rice per every child daily. Is this for 4 years? How will it be sustained? Will it be funded with tax payers money?
