A member of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Patrick Obahiagbon has added his voice to the growing list of those criticising a recent video credited to Nigeria’s First Lady, Patience Jonathan.
In the video which went viral immediately it hit public domain, it showed Mrs Jonathan making some statements with grammatical errors at an event being broadcast by a national television channel.
Renowned for his ability to baffle Nigerians with his grammatically inclined words, Hon. Obahiagbon, who had on 1st of January, 2014, expressed his plans to avoid using hard-to-understand English words but instead communicate in Pidgin English, did not hesitate to use his big grammars to condemn Mrs Jonathan for making such statement.
Below is the video of the lawmaker’s reaction:
Obahiagbon, a 1987 Law graduate of University of Benin who also holds two Master degrees, is not the first person to come out and condemned Mrs Jonathan over the statement.
It could be recalled that leading opposition party in Nigeria, the All Progressives Congress (APC), had tagged the video the ‘theatrical’ intervention of Patience Jonathan in the abduction case of over 200 GGSS Chibok female students as distracting and counter-productive.
According to the statement, signed by the Interim National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the move of the First Lady was aimed at improving her husband’s image, rather than helping the victims.
