All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation, APCPCO, said yesterday that the wife of the President, Dame Patience Jonathan was “an incredibly crude woman” but thanked Nigerians for putting up with her attitude.

In a statement in Abuja, the organisation said Mrs Jonathan’s recent description of the presidential candidate of APC, General Muhammadu Buhari as “brain-dead” was both insulting and demeaning of her status as the First Lady.

APCPCO consequently urged President Goodluck Jonathan to call his wife to order in view of Abuja Peace Accord.

The statement signed by the Director, Media and Publicity Unit of the organisation, Mallam Garba Shehu, observed that “it was discourteous and inexcusable for a wife of any president with a modicum of decency to make such a false and infantile pronouncement about the health status of another man on account of politics.”

The APCPCO further recalled another of Mrs Jonathan’s statement in Calabar, Cross River State where she urged PDP supporters to “stone” all those canvassing for change, saying she was invoking violence.

The statement added that it was below the standard of a wife of a president to stoop so low to call for violent attacks against members of the opposition.

Similarly, the APC presidential campaign also frowned at the reports of money allegedly shared to religious leaders by President Jonathan to get their support, describing it as scandalous.

It said it was incredibly embarrassed as to why a government would allegedly seek to bribe religious leaders to cover up its misdeeds and win re-election, despite its incompetence and non-performance.

It regretted that bribing religious leaders would not only bring them into disrepute but also make nonsense of President Jonathan’s claim to fight corruption.
