The Director of Media and Publicity of the
organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, said at a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday that first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan will not appear before the International Criminal Court.
Fani-Kayode was reacting to the claim by the main opposition party, the All Progressives
Congress, that it had reported the President’s wife to the ICC.
Patience Jonathan was said to have told supporters of the PDP at a rally in Cross River State to stone
anyone canvassing for change in the state.
“Change” is the slogan of the APC.
In its complaint to the ICC, the APC made by its Director-General, Presidential Campaign Council,
Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, who is the Governor of
Rivers State, the APC said the wife of the President was calling on the supporters of the ruling party to
attack those of the APC.
But Fani-Kayode described Patience Jonathan as a woman of peace, adding that her speech didn’t propel
anyone to take to violence.
The former Minister of Aviation added that those that took the wife of the President to ICC were not educated on issue of international law.
He said if they were, they would have known
that individuals were not taken to the court on the basis of their speech.
