Asking ICC To Investigate Patience Jonathan Is Absurd – Fani-Kayode

The Director of Media and Publicity for the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Femi Fani-Kayode has described the call for the investigation of Mrs Patience Jonathan by the International Criminal Court (ICC) as “absurd and an empty ranting of the opposition”.

Mr Fani-Kayode also took a swipe on the APC presidential candidate, retired General Muhamadu Buhari, insisting that he is the one that has questions to answer in the Hague.

The APC Presidential Campaign Organisation had lodged a formal complaint against Nigeria’s First Lady, Mrs Patience Jonathan, to the ICC and other agencies over statements credited to her asking Nigerians to stone anybody calling for change in the country.

Mrs Jonathan allegedly made the statement at the PDP Women Campaign in Calabar, Cross River State, last week .

The letter of complaint was signed by the Director General of the Buhari Campaign Organisation and Governor of Rivers State, Mr Rotimi Amaechi.

Governor Amaechi, said by her statement, the First Lady was clearly asking the PDP to attack the APC supporters because Nigerians know that change is the slogan of the opposition party.

Governor Amaechi lamented Mrs. Jonathan’s hate speech, saying it contravened the laws and also the Abuja Peace Pact endorsed by the 13 presidential candidates in the March 28 election."
