The party in a statement issued in Port Harcourt signed by its chairman,  Dr. Davis Ikanya, said subsequent comments and utterances by the first lady have shown that she is prone to inciting her supporters.
APC in the statement noted that the first lady has refused to show remorse for the consequences of her utterances, citing her directive while addressing market women at the PDP women rally in Cross Rivers State on February 25th where she directed PDP supporters to stone anybody that mentions ‘change.’
“When the above statement was credited to the first lady, we thought that she was misquoted but we now know better, as she has not denied the statement, two weeks after, but has rather gone ahead to make similar inciting utterances at some other rallies for PDP women addressed by her.
“Her directive that APC members be stoned was heeded but instead of stone they used bullet and bombs which led to the death of a policeman. It is shameful that Mrs. Jonathan is the first Nigerian first lady to be reported to the ICC and the second first lady in Africa to be reported to the ICC.
“By refusing to condemn the unfortunate attack against APC supporters during the Okirika rally and these reckless statements by his wife, President Jonathan is telling Nigerians that he supports his wife’s directive that APC faithful should be stoned to death for expressing their political belief.”
