Borno Women Blasts Patience Jonathan says she is as Old As Buhari But Hiding It With Make-Up

Retired female civil servants in Borno State have launched a scathing attack at the first lady, Patience Jonathan, over her broadsides on former military ruler, Muhammadu Buhari, and her comments regarding the violence in northern Nigeria, Premium Times reports.

The women, under the Forum for Retired Female Civil Servants in Borno State, particularly expressed outrage over Mrs. Jonathan’s repeated attacks on Mr. Buhari, who is the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, President Goodluck Jonathan’s major challenger.

The women pointed at Mrs. Jonathan’s description of Mr. Buhari, 72, as a “brain-dead” old man.

The women said Mrs. Jonathan has no reason taunting the former general as she could be older, if she wears no make-up.

“Patience Jonathan is saying that Buhari is an old man and recently they stoned the convoy of Buhari’s wife. If Buhari is old, I believe that Patient Jonathan is not any younger than Buhari to say the fact because as a woman, we know how women hide their age behind make ups to look younger, therefore, we are saying enough is enough,” said Aishatu Ngulde, who spoke on behalf of the Forum.

“We are here today because we have been pushed to the walls and anyone that is pushed to the walls has to react.

“They say we gave birth to children and throw them on the streets to become Boko Haram,” the women said.
