The First Lady at the NEXT LEVEL Thank you Celebration and Luncheon at Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos on Saturday, noted that the President has already promised to engage more women and youth in government his second term. She encouraged them not to relent in the collective duty to make the NEXT LEVEL a reality.

“I wish to express my appreciation to Nigerians especially Women and Youth for their unprecedented contribution towards our success at the election. In particular, I must mention the role played by the Women and Youth Presidential Campaign Team I initiated to support the APC Presidential Campaign Council,” the First Lady stated.

She expressed happiness that Nigerians responded positively to the campaign.
