The presidential campaign organisation
of the All Progressives Congress has reported the wife of President
Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, to the International Criminal Court.
Two weeks ago, Patience had, while
campaigning for her husband in Calabar, Cross River State, told the
supporters of the PDP to stone anyone canvassing for change in the
state.
The campaign organisation said the
letter of complaint was signed by its Director-General, Mr. Rotimi
Amaechi, who is the Governor of River State. It said that the letter would be
delivered to ICC on Monday (today), adding that the Inspector General of
Police, Suleiman Abba, and the National Human Rights Commission would
also be sent copies of the letter.
The campaign organisation likened some
of Patient’s statements to those of Simone, the wife of a former
President of Cote d’Ivoire, Laurent Gbagbo, prior to the francophone
country’s 2010 elections.
The ICC indicted Mrs. Gbagbo for her
part in planning to perpetrate brutal attacks, including murder, rape,
and sexual violence, on her husband’s political opponents in the wake of
the 2010 elections.
