Aisha Buhari, the wife of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
presidential candidate, has condemned Patience Jonathan, the wife of
President Goodluck Jonathan, for allegedly describing the North as an
enclave of beggars and unwanted children.
Mrs
Buhari said that the description coming from someone who ironically
campaigns for votes in that region is an indication of a hidden agenda.
Therefore, she called on the people of the North to reject the Peoples
Democratic Party and its presidential candidate.
According to
Premium Times, Mrs Buhari assured Kano women that her husband and the
APC would fulfill all their electoral promises and would initiate
programmes aiming to make women self-reliant.
“With General
Buhari in power, the spate of kidnapping and reckless assassination of
innocent people will be history in Nigeria. With General Buhari in
power, the nation’s depressing economy will be rebounded in line with
the expectation of the citizens and world best practices,” she said.
Addressing
Kano women, Mrs Buhari stated that it would be a disaster for any
politician or political party to ignore the vital role of women.
She
called on women to exhibit courage and fighting spirit by making
themselves available as foot soldiers during the election.The wife of
the APC candidate also advocated for more freedom for women in the North
so that they would be able to engage themselves in productive
enterprises like their counterparts in the southern part of the country.
Mrs
Buhari took the opportunity to commend the Kano state government under
the leadership of Rabiu Kwankwaso for its great developmental strides,
particularly in improving access to education. She also praised
Kwankwaso’s administration for taking children off the streets and into
schools.
Recently the Nigerian cyber sphere had been taken aback over some comments attributed to Aisha Buhari. She allegedly called the women of Edo state ‘prostitutes’, who she said her husband would liberate.
