The wife of the
All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Aisha Buhari, has condemned
the repeated bashing of the North by the wife of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Patience Jonathan
allegedly described the region as an enclave of beggars and unwanted children.
Mrs. Buhari said
the description coming from someone who ironically campaigns for votes in that
region is an indication of a hidden agenda, adding that the people of the North
should, therefore, reject the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential
candidate.
Mrs. Buhari
promised Kano women that her husband and the APC will be faithful to their
electoral promises, and also will initiate programmes that will 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.
Mrs. Buhari said
she was in Kano to canvass the support of women knowing their role as important
pillars in winning election the world over, saying it would be a disaster for
any politician to ignore the vital role of women.
She stressed the
need for women to exhibit courage and fighting spirit, just as she urged them
to make themselves available as foot soldiers during the election.
Mrs. Buhari
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.
She commended the
Kano State Government under the leadership of Rabiu Kwankwaso for its giant
developmental strides, particularly in improving access to education.
Mrs. Buhari said
Mr. Kwankwaso’s administration took children out of streets to schools.
