Wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, on Tuesday said there was no truth in media reports that she was imposing governorship candidates in some states ahead of the 2015 general elections.

She said she could not have performed such a role because she was neither an elected official of state nor a Peoples Democratic Party functionary.

She made the clarification in a statement by her Media Assistant, Ayo Adewuyi.

She was reacting to a media report that some party leaders and stakeholders in Ebonyi State have 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.

Adewuyi said it was absurd that any person would assume that Mrs. Jonathan would make such a request, considering the fact that she had continued to preach peaceful conduct of all aspirants before, during and after elections.

He described the report as another attempt by mischief makers to attribute their self-induced political travails to the President’s wife.

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.”
