PM News has reported the words of President Goodluck Jonathan's wife, Patience Jonathan, during a women's presidential rally in Ibadan, Oyo State on Wednesday.
According to the paper, Patience Jonathan 'misfired' when she said the people who jailed 'Adelabu' would also jail the people of Oyo state if they voted the APC.
PM news observes that the First lady 'goofed', as Adegoke Adelabu (nicknamed 'Penkelemes', which was a derivative of 'Peculiar Mess) died in the 1950's (March 1958 to be precise.)
The paper says that the politician the first lady had in mind was Alhaji Busari Adelakun, former commissioner under Chief Bola Ige in Oyo state (1979-1982).
"Adelakun, a political toughie, later abandoned Ige’s Unity Party of Nigeria and joined the Federally ruling National Party of Nigeria," says PM news. "Following the coup of 31 December 1983, he was arrested by the coupists. He died at the University College Hospital, after a protracted illness."
Patience Jonathan's actual words were: “I want to tell you the people of Oyo State, you don’t need to listen to APC. APC is a spare drug; they don’t have material to quantify PDP material. You should know that they have been in government before; they were there before PDP, before Goodluck administration. If they come to Oyo, ask them, what do they have for you, not ‘I will, I will’. You were there; when you were there, what did you do for the people of Oyo State?
“All what they did for you people when they were there was to send your fathers and your children to prison. That’s all what they have for you people, and I want you to remember. Some of you were still small by then when your fathers were sent to prison by this very APC people. Some of them died in the prison; you know them. You want me to call one of them that died in the prison – don’t you know Adelabu? Haven’t you heard that name before in Oyo? He was the leader of NPN then.
“He was imprisoned by this APC, by this very people that want to enter there and he died there. They are coming again to jail your fathers and your mothers and even me, but God would never allow them – Holy Ghost fire, Holy Ghost fire, Holy Ghost fire. They would never succeed, because they have nothing to offer. Their own is ‘I will, I will’; that’s all what they have to offer.
“PDP has come to liberate the people. After this one, when they fail, they won’t have any name to bear again. The last time they failed, they changed their name to APC – not knowing APC is a spare drug.”
