PATIENCE JONATHAN: “I DON’T ANOINT PDP GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATES”

The First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, on Tuesday disclosed that there’s no truth in reports that she is imposing governorship candidates in some states ahead of the 2015 general elections as she was neither an elected official of state nor a Peoples Democratic Party functionary.

She made this clarification through her Media Assistant, Ayo Adewuyi following statements by some party leaders and stakeholders in Ebonyi State have decided to defect to the All Progressives Congress(APC) because she insisted that the state Deputy Governor, Chief Dave Umahi, must be the party’s governorship candidate.

The statement read in part, “Let us state once again that the First Lady is not an elected official of state, neither is she a party functionary. She therefore recognises very clearly her place in the scheme of things. Let it be known that the First Lady has no hand in the selection of the party’s candidates in any state and definitely not in Ebonyi.”
