Serve Nigerians Not My Husband, Aisha Tells Buhari's Aides by moderate99(op): 11:49am On Jun 15, 2015
The wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, on
Saturday implored politicians who may be picked
to work with President Muhammadu Buhari and
all his political associates to be careful the way
they carry themselves.
She said such people should be wary of the fact
that it took her husband 12 years before getting
to the position he currently occupies and hence,
they should tread with caution.
Mrs. Buhari said this during an “Appreciation
Dinner” she hosted in honour of the All
Progressives Congress’ women and youths at the
old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
She said, “There was nothing that people did not
say about the past administration. It is not
former President Goodluck Jonathan that is not
good but the people around him.
“So, the people that are going to be around
President Buhari have to be very careful because
this election ended peacefully.
“We are praying and hoping that people around
him should know that it took him 12 years to get
to that position and they must know that they are
coming to serve the masses, not General Buhari.
“It is the people that are around him that will
determine the political health of our state.”
The President’s wife also promised that the
current administration would run an open
government.
She said government under her husband would be
run differently from what was obtainable under
Jonathan when people were allegedly asked to be
paying huge amount of money in foreign currency
before they could see the President or his wife.
“I will like to inform you that in the past regime,
whether it is true or false, only God knows, some
people were going round and parading themselves
as personal assistants.
“If you wanted to see the President’s wife, you
will pay $30,000 or $50,000 and if you are seeing
the President, you will pay all that you have saved
in your lifetime.
“This will not happen in our regime. Whoever asks
you to give a single penny in the name of coming
to see the President or his wife is not our
(member of) staff. He is not an APC member, it is
a lie. Don’t be deceived,” she said.
Taking a look at her husband’s 12-year journey
towards returning as President, Mrs. Buhari said
her active participation in the last electioneering
made the difference.
She said she did not take part in the campaigns
of her husband’s first three shots at the
Presidency because that was how those who
surrounded him at that time wanted it.
This time, she said it was a national leader of the
APC and a former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju
Bola Tinubu, who encouraged her to play an
active role.
She also faulted claims that made the rounds
ahead of the elections on the alleged gender-
insensitivity of her husband, saying they were
mere fabrications.
Describing Buhari as the pillar of her success
despite the generation gap between the two of
them, she said it was the President who
encouraged her to go to school.
Mrs. Buhari said, “Many people did not know why
I was not appearing for the last three campaigns.
I appeared only this time and I think it made a lot
of difference. A lot of people said my husband
earned four million votes as a result of my
campaign.
“We were not sure but with the popularity of my
husband, we thought then that he needed female
support to cancel all sorts of gender bias people
have been attaching to him like that he kept me
under a purdah.”
“He had never kept me under a purdah even for a
moment since I got married to him…
“My husband is a gender-sensitive human being,
having so many girls as his own biological
children and then having me as a wife, then you
can see the generation gap. He allowed me to go
to school. To cut the story short, he is the pillar
of my success.”
She thanked Nigerian women and youths for the
roles they played towards the success of the last
election, saying she was aware of their
steadfastness during the electioneering up until
the elections proper.
These efforts, she said, contributed significantly
to her husband’s success story.
Mrs. Buhari regretted that the number of women
that made it to the National Assembly during the
current dispensation declined drastically from the
number obtainable during the last regime.
She said the current figure was not fair to women
and they felt they are not represented.
Mrs. Buhari said something drastic had to be
done to address the high rate of divorce in the
North, the harrowing experience of widows in the
South and the harassment of female students in
the nation’s higher institutions.
Earlier, a former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi
Amaechi, who was the chairman of the event, had
thanked Mrs. Buhari and other women for making
his job as the Director-General of the Buhari/
Osinbajo Presidential Campaign Organisation
easier.
