Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari, yesterday said “unflinching support and prayers” by Nigerian women had been the driving force pushing President Muhammadu Buhari to deliver on his electoral promises to the people.
She, therefore, thanked the women for the backing they had been giving her husband since the last presidential election, saying that support had energised her and her husband to remain committed to societal development.
She made the comment during a session organised to distribute food items to women organisations in Yola, the Adamawa state capital.
“I am deeply appreciative of the support that you show to us at every turn and promise that I will never let you down,” she said.
Mrs. Buhari also thanked them for the consistent prayers over her husband’s improved health.
“Today’s event, which is the distribution of food items, is a symbolic gesture and a token of my appreciation. It is meant to confirm that I have not forgotten you, and never will.”
Governor of Adamawa state, Muhammad Bindow Jibrilla, speaking through his Commissioner for Education, Kaleptapwa Farauta, said he recognised the fact that women “carry the heaviest burden in communities,” and that anything done to improve their welfare had his full support. (Premium Times)
