Wife of Nigeria’s President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, has assured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari will do everything possible to improve their living conditions.
Mrs Buhari said this during the traditional breaking of Ramadan fast which she organised for the less privileged inside the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Asking them to give the President all the needed support to succeed, she said, “I want to assure you that my husband, President Muhammadu Buhari will do everything possible to improve the living conditions of every citizen.”
While acknowledging that her husband won the March 28 presidential election through team work, the President’s wife appealed that the team work should continue, noting that President Buhari cannot do it alone.
Mrs. Buhari said that she decided to organise the event to show love because both the privileged and the less privileged are all one in God’s sight.
Mrs Buhari also lauded the peaceful conduct of Nigerians before and after the last elections, saying their behaviors were commendable.
She urged them to continue in the same spirit because peace is required for the progress of the country.
Mrs Buhari was joined at the brief event by wife of the Imo State Governor, Mrs. Nkechi Okorocha; wife of the Nassarawa State Governor, Mrs Tanko Al-Makura: wife of the former governor of Rivers State, Mrs Judith Amaechi; former Lagos State Deputy Governor, Mrs Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire; and a former member of the House of Representatives, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa among others.
Wife of the president, Mrs Aisha Buhari, yesterday assured Nigerians that her husband would go the the extra mile to change the living standard of Nigerians for the better.
Mrs Buhari, who gave the assurance when she broke the Ramadan fast with the less privileged at the old banquet hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, however, solicited the support of all Nigerians, saying the country at the moment is still undergoing a transition.
She said, "In this regard, I want to assure you that my husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, will do everything to improve the living conditions of every citizen. I also want to acknowledge your contributions in various fields to the socio-economic development of the country which are very important to the survival of our nation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you know that the nation is passing through a transition. Therefore, there is need for all to support this government to succeed."
Mrs Buhari also enjoined Nigerians to reflect on the essence of Ramadan, even as she noted that the fasting period for Muslims teaches the Islamic tenets of care, love and forgiveness.
"As we all know, Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam that teaches us to care, love and forgive one another. Other religions also order this commandment. We are actually here today to show love to each other because we are all one in the sight of God," she stated.
Wives of Nasarawa State governor and that of Imo State governor attended the event.
Others who were at the breakfast of the Ramadan fast include the less privileged, market women, Okada riders, KEKE NAPEP drivers, artisans, among others.
