Mrs Jonathan stated this on Tuesday, March 17, during a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rally in Ilorin, Kwara State.
She also urged the women of the state not to vote for the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari.
“Nigerian women, if they (APC) come, tell them that your mother said you should not listen to them. They have nothing to offer. They have nothing to give you, Nigerian women,” she said.

“Because the battle has already been conquered, God has opened the way for us. God has brought down the messiah for us. And PDP is the messiah. Goodluck is the messiah,” she added.
She also urged Buhari to leave politics to the younger generation.
“I am a person that will tell the truth. I will not abuse people, but if you are old you are old, so leave it to younger people,” she said.
“What are we going to take expired drug to do? Have you seen anywhere where APC cured any person? If you vote and drink it and die, it is not my business. Do not go near APC. It is an expired drug and an adulterated drug.”
She also stated that the APC was deliberately planning its campaign events to clash with hers.

“Before I went to Edo State, the APC was there, all to make trouble. I have always been telling them that they like to make trouble. I wanted to go to Edo, they were there. Why? To make trouble. I wanted to come to Kwara, they were there. Why? To make trouble,” she said.
“As I was coming today at the airport, they were also coming so that there would be trouble but I told my security people that I am a mother of peace, so let them go in peace. We, wives of political leaders should not make trouble, so even if they come to you to make trouble, don’t fall for their tricks,” she added.
The First Lady also stated that the APC had stolen the mandate of the PDP in Kwara but that the ruling party would reclaim its position.
