First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan says she hates violence
and can never in any way be associated with electoral violence. Speaking
with Punch through her media aide, Ayo Adewuyi, the first lady said
as President of the African First Ladies, she cannot be promoting
violence during and after elections
"The only thing we can say
from here is
that Dame Patience Jonathan is a woman of peace that can never in any
way be identified with violence before, during and after elections. You
do not expect somebody who is the President of African First Ladies to
be promoting violence.” the aide said
On the plans by the
APC to drag the first lady before the International Criminal Court over
her recent remarks in Calabar, where she said that anyone who talked about change should
be stonedd, the media aide said
"They are just
notifying. The case is not yet in ICC. They are entitled
to their opinions and actions. We are not going to be dragged into any
argument with them".
