The wife of All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari has refuted reports that she is a foreigner.
Aisha Buhari made
the statement on Friday, January 23, in Kaduna State during the launch
of a book titled “Wind of change: 72 leadership qualities of Buhari,” by
civil rights activist, Blessing Agbomhere.
Mrs. Buhari was represented by Deborah Iliya, a chieftain of the APC in the state.
“They
have said that Aisha Buhari is not a Nigerian. Aisha said I should tell
everyone that she is a Nigerian. Does it even matter if she is not a
Nigerian? What has that got to do with what is happening in this
country?” Iliya said.
“Aisha said she is
pleased because the author is a young man; this is an indication that
our youths have always understood the problems of this country and they
are really pulling us together to fight a common front and that is
change. We need change in Nigeria. For the past six years, we have been
suffering; I wish a woman has been President we wouldn’t have been in
this mess. So women, she (Aisha) has asked that I should encourage you
to come out and be part of nation building. We are powerful; we are
strong and stronger than the men,” she added.
Mrs.
Buhari has also said that her husband will not scrap the office of the
First Lady if it is provided for in the constitution.
