I'm Proud To Say Patience Jonathan Is My Jesus Christ ––Bipi

For the first time since he tried to impeach
the Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly
with five members backed by the powers in
Abuja, Hon Evans Bipi, representing Ogu Bolo
State Constituency in the House has come out
to address some of the thorny issues.
Below is
a brief excerpt:

You were seen in a video trying to snatch
a GUN from a policeman. What did you
want to do it?

What happened was that after Chidi Lloyd
used the mace to hit my colleague, he ran
away, then the governor came, supervised the
beating of my colleague. So, I was running
after him (Rotimi Amaechi). That policeman
now used the gun to hit me. Take a look at
my hand. So I dragged the rifle in anger. I
don’t know how to shoot. I was only trying to
ask him why he used the gun to hit me. I was
only trying to let him know that what he did
was bad. Why did he stop me from going after
the governor? I was going to meet the
governor to tell him that coming to the House
to supervise the beating of my colleague was
not good.

Why do you call the President’s wife
mummy? Are you in any way related to
her?

Have you forgotten that she is from Okrika?
So, whoever attains the position of the First
Lady, what would you call the person? You
call her mummy. She is the mother of the
nation and she is the mouthpiece of Okrika
people. She is the mother of Okrika people.
So, every Okrika person calls her mummy.
But you are from Ogu Bolo. Is Ogu Bolo
near Okrika, why she hails from?
Ogu Bolo is Okrika. They are all Okrika
people. It is like Ikwerre and Obio/Akpor;
they are all Ikwerre. It is only the local
government areas that split them. So, as an
Okrika woman, who has risen up to that
position, everybody calls her mummy.

Is that why you also call her your Jesus
Christ on earth? What is her role in your
life?

People are misinterpreting this Jesus Christ on
earth. Let me say this. Man is God to man; it
is in the Bible. You must not see God; you will
see God through somebody. God said, see me
through Jesus Christ. That is why we are
seeing God through Jesus Christ. This woman
(Patience Jonathan) is everything in my life.
She made me what I am today.
Are you talking about politics?
Politically and otherwise; I can say it
anywhere. I can say she is my Jesus Christ
because she has made me who I am today.
That is the truth and I can defend that
anywhere. Babangida’s wife was from Delta
State. Her people called her mummy.
Yar’Adua’s wife is from Katsina, all the people
from Katsina call her mummy. Even Governor
Rotimi Amaechi’s wife, the people call her
mummy. When a woman attains such level,
everybody calls her mummy. It is a form of
respect to her. But to me, my mummy
(Patience Jonathan) is special because she
brought me up to this level.
