Feb 16: This is what Aisha told rally about her husband

Wife of President Muhammadu Buhari has called on Nigerian women to support the ruling all progressives Congress (APC) by voting for the party in the forthcoming general election.

Aisha made the call in Daura, her husband’s hometown on Wednesday when she addressed thousands of youth and women during the round off of door to door presidential campaign ahead of the February 16 poll.

She described women as vanguards of change and character development.

“We will by the grace of God continue to initiate policies and programmes geared towards women empowerment,” she said.

She added that the Buhari led administration had performed creditably towards enhancing the welfare of Nigerian woman especially through the introduction of TraderMoni scheme and many other empowerment programmes.

She said if her husband is reelected she would continue to execute programmes that would impact positively on the lives of women and children.

Earlier, Sadiya Sani, a professor, assured the wife of the president that women would massively vote for APC in the forthcoming election.

Highlight of the events were drama presentation and musical entertainment by popular Kannywood Actress Fati Niger and her group.

Before the event, Aisha paid homage on Emir of Daura, Farouk Umar in his palace in Daura.
