The Director General of All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organization, Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, has taken a swipe at the first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan for not acting like a role model to the women folks.
Dame Jonathan has been making hate speeches at Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential campaigns across the country as well as attacking the personality of the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Gen Muhammadu Buhari.
Amaechi made the remark at the Buhari Meets Women programme held at Harbour Point, Victorial Island, Lagos, Thursday morning, describing Mrs Aisha Buhari as an intelligent woman and an epitome of a good wife.
“Mrs Buhari has been going from one state to another campaigning for her husband. A very intelligent woman. Am epitome of a good wife. She has never abuse Mr President or those abusing her husband. She didn’t behave like the first lady.
Speaking further, Amaechi said that the purpose of the event was to bring GMB closer to the women folks so that they can have the opportunity to ask him questions.
“This man that they have been demonised is a human being afterall. He is a man of his words. He is a muslim but accord his christian staffs their rights. He allows them to go to church on Sundays.
“We have extremely brilliant and intelligent women and we appreciate them. The era when women were relegated to the kitchen has gone.
“They have tried all they could but cannot fault GMB. He is not corrupt. He is transparent. PDP cannot fault him on that. No matter what the FG does, there will be no power untill the government at the centre is changed. What they garbage in is what they garbage out,” he said.
