The APC in a statement released yesterday March 4th,
described her comments as demeaning
"It is not only insulting for Mrs. Jonathan to describe
Buhari as "brain-dead, it is also demeaning of her status
as the President's wife to speak in the manner with which
she did. It was discourteous and inexcusable for a wife of
any President with a modicum of decency to make such a
false and infantile pronouncement about the health
status of another man on account of politics.


The APC Presidential Campaign Organization similarly
observed that much as indecent and disgraceful as the
outbursts of Mrs. Jonathan was in an attempt to pull the
wool over the eyes of Nigerians about her husband's
incompetence to lead the country, it is typical of the
PDP's modus operandi to confuse Nigerians with
mundane issues instead of the issues of corruption, for
which her husband has achieved an unbeaten record; his
appalling lack of capacity to secure life and property of
citizens and a glaring incompetence in dealing with the
challenges facing the country." "the statement read The
statement also said it has observed that the first lady had
in recent times continued to make inciting comments
during any of the PDP women campaigns According to
APC, Mrs. Jonathan had made statements "invoking
violence like she did in Calabar over the weekend, when
she urged the PDP supporters to stone all those
canvassing for change.".

The statement called on President Jonathan to caution his
wife.
