The First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan yesterday gave reasons why President Goodluck Jonathan deserves to be re-elected for a second term.
The First Lady, who was in Ikom, Cross River State, in continuation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), nationwide Women’s rally to solicit votes for her husband, said President Jonathan has performed well to earn a second term in office.
Speaking shortly after commissioning the 6,000 seating capacity ultra modern Ikom Township Stadium, Mrs Jonathan said: “I came to thank you for keeping to your promise in 2011 to vote for my husband. I want to use this opportunity to appeal to you to repeat the same thing in the March 28 presidential election.” According to the First Lady, her husband, during his first tenure has performed tremendously and has impacted positively on the people especially the women.
Mrs. Jonathan reminded the mammoth crowd of female politicians that in 2011, her husband promised to give women 35 per cent appointment in line with the affirmative action which he did through political and elective offices, adding that “now we are in 2015, and he will do more for the nation and women in particular.”
She listed the progress made by the PDP-led Federal Government to include improvement in health care delivery where infant mortality rate has dropped drastically, establishment of federal universities in all the 36 states of the federation, instituted developmental programmes to empower women and youths and the construction of 125 Amajiri schools to take kids off the streets and give them hope for the future.
