Nigeria’s First Lady, Patience Jonathan has said that she doesn’t want to feed her husband, President Goodluck Jonathan in prison.

Mrs. Jonathan stated this on Monday, March 16, during a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) women’s rally in Ekiti State.

The First Lady also urged her supporters not to vote in the All Progressives Congress (APC) saying that doing so could land them in prison.

“What did they forget in Aso rock? If you vote PDP and Jonathan, it would be better for you. If you vote APC, you will go to prison. How can you jail somebody for 300 years? I’m not ready to carry food to my husband inside prison oh!” Mrs Jonathan said.

She also referred to a comment made by the APC Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari to the effect that Nigeria’s constitution makes no room for the office of the First Lady.

“They said there is no Office of the First Lady. Already, we know that there is no Office of the First Lady but there is wife of the President. As (the) wife of the President, if you are good, people will love you. You will have a Non-Governmental Organisation through which you will touch people’s lives. That is why I brought Women for Change Initiative,” she said.

Mrs Jonathan has openly attacked Buhari and the APC during her rallies calling the candidate “brain dead” and urging her supporters to stone APC members.
