Those who ask for change are bus conductors – Dame Jonathan

Nigeria’s First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, yesterday took a swipe at the All Progressives Congress, APC, by stating that members of her party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, “do not tell you about change because we are not bus conductors that ask for change”.

The First Lady, who spoke at the PDP Women for Change Initiative presidential rally at Orerokpe, Okpe Local Government Area of Delta State, charged women in the country to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stressing that any woman who votes for the APC is an enemy of herself.

While highlighting the benevolence of the PDP administration to women in the country, Dame Jonathan cited the Youth Enterprise With Innovation in Nigeria, YouWin and Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme, SUREP, as some of the empowerment programmes her husband was using to empower women and youths in the country.

According to her, “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.”

The State governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, while giving a remark, lauded the developmental achievements of President Jonathan, stressing that, “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.”
