Dame Patience Faka Jonathan is a pub delight. More often than not, she offers priceless materials for the ubiquitous bar gossip and jokes. On her best day, her words would make your flesh creep the few times she fails to tickle you by her sidesplitting diatribes. However, very few people could deal with her recent utterances launched as an attack on the All Progressives Party (APC) presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari. While reacting to a statement made by the first lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan few days ago at a People’s Democratic Party (PDP) rally, where she, the first lady, had said the APC presidential candidate was unfit and brain dead, the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora Affairs, Abike Dabiri-Erewa has described the first lady and her statement as a total embarrassment to the country.
“Mrs. Jonathan is an embarrassment to the whole country. The only people shouting her praise or listening to her are the sycophants; outside them, nobody else does. She is crude and unrefined. When you travel out of the country, Nigerians keep asking you how we became this bad,” lamented Dabiri-Erewa.
The following is what the first lady was quoted to have said initially; “Wetin him dey find again? Him dey drag with him pikin mate. “Old man wey no get brain, him brain don die pata pata.”
