I Have no Hand in the Selection of Any State’s Party’s Candidates – Patience Jonathan

You know how a lot of folks believe Dame Patience Jonathan, was imposing governorship candidates on some states ahead of the 2015 general elections, well Mama Peace has denied such speculations claiming she has no power to anoint any aspirant because she was neither a politician nor a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.

This was made known in a statement by her Media Assistant, Ayo Adewuyi, while reacting to a media report that some party leaders and stakeholders in Ebonyi State had decided to defect to the All Progressives Congress because she insisted that the state Deputy Governor, Chief Dave Umahi, must be the party’s governorship candidate.

“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”

Well, do you agree???
