Aisha Buhari, the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari has
re-assured Nigerians that the President will use his second term to consolidate
his previous campaign promises of securing the nation, growing the economy and
fighting corruption.
Specifically, she said the president would alleviate poverty
by closing the gap between the rich and the poor. Aisha said this on Saturday
during a dinner organized by her at the State House Conference Center in Abuja,
to celebrate the president’s victory. She also thanked the women and youths for
their support throughout the election period.
“I wish I can invite all the 15 million Nigerians that voted
for Mr President to this dinner, but no place can accommodate you all. So, let
me say thank you and assure you that you made the right choice,” she was quoted
as saying in a statement signed by her spokesperson, Suleiman Haruna.
“Specifically, I wish to express my appreciation to the
women and youth presidential campaign team that I initiated to complement the
efforts of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.
“As you all know by now, the aim of setting up the team was
to get women and youth, who form the majority of the electorate, involved in
all the campaign activities across the country,” she said.
