According to the APC, the First Lady’s statement is a reflection of the mind of her husband, Goodluck Jonathan. The national publicity secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said this during an interview with The Punch on March 5, 2015.
Mohammed noted in his statement that the call for violence by the president’s wife had given credence to allegations by the Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi, that the First Lady was responsible for the violence at the APC rally in the Okrika local government area last month.

The APC spokesperson even claimed that the remark by Mrs Jonathan was evidence that the Peoples Democratic Party and the president were not ready for violence-free polls.
“Governor Amaechi has been justified by the Mrs. Jonathan’s call to violence. She had been making threats that the APC would not hold a rally in Okrika, where she comes from. And you saw the violence that erupted at the rally.
“Unknown to her, she is our best campaigner because she continues to prove us right that this government is not ready for peaceful elections. The PDP and the Presidency are clever in hiding their intentions but the President’s wife is very outspoken.”
Patience has also described the APC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, as “brain dead” , adding that he is unfit and too old to be the Nigeria’s president.
In the short period since the general elections were postponed, Mrs Jonathan has made several statements that have been termed seriously controversial.
