Patience Jonathan is right; Buhari is brain-dead — Jonathan campaign

The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation has risen in defence of the First Lady, Patience Jonathan, who described the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Muhammadu Buhari as “brain-dead.”

Mrs. Jonathan spoke Wednesday at the PDP Women Presidential Campaign Rally in Lokoja, the Kogi state capital, alleging that Mr. Buhari’s brain was dead.

“Wetin him (Buhari) dey find again? Him dey drag with him pickin mate. Old man wey no get brain, him brain don die pata pata,” she said in pidgin English.

Her husband, President Goodluck Jonathan, 58, is the PDP candidate in the March 28 election.

The Director of Media and Publicity of the PDPPCO, Femi Fani-Kayode, in a response to the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation yesterday in Abuja, said, “The First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, was absolutely right. To say that General Buhari is ”brain dead” is an understatement and to suggest that he is suffering from dementia is nothing new.

“The First Lady has spoken in a courageous and forthright manner and, most important of all, she has spoken the bitter truth. Instead of crying like spoilt little brats and complaining, the APC and the Buhari Campaign Organisation should live with that bitter truth and leave her alone.

“She has every right to express herself in any way that she deems fit and she is entitled to her opinion. This is especially so given the fact that her husband, President Goodluck Jonathan, is in the presidential race.

Mr. Fani-Kayode said Mr. Buhari’s general disdain for women and their opinion was well known, adding, “This is a man that said that he would scrap the office of the First Lady if he is elected President.”
