“Accept Tinubu’s Presidential Victory As Will Of God” – Aisha Buhari Tells Nigerians
Aisha Buhari, the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, has described the victory of Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, as the will of God.
The first lady spoke on Thursday when she received Oluremi Tinubu and Nana Shettima, wives of the president-elect and vice-president at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Aisha asked Nigerians to keep diversity and interest aside and accept Tinubu’s victory as God’s will because the election was a triumph for all Nigerians, assuring that the president-elect would not betray the citizens.
She said, “Regardless of our interests and diversity, we should all accept it as a will of Almighty God, we wouldn’t have done it without his grace.
“It is a victory for all Nigerians. I am optimistic that the president-elect will not betray the trust and confidence that Nigerians reposed in him. It is now time to move on and focus on the path of renewed hope for Nigerian women and youths.
“So, my sister we count on your experience and interest in promoting the cause of women, youths, and girl-child education.”
The first lady encouraged the wife of the president-elect to continue to provide support for women and girl-child empowerment in the country.
“The task is arduous but with your determination I believe is surmountable. I pray that come May 29, your position as first lady will be marked with joy and continued success.
“We look forward to the advancement of Nigerian women and their inclusion in the affairs of our nation’s development,” Aisha said.
While commending the wife of the president for her role in the success of the presidential election, Oluremi Tinubu said that Aisha has demonstrated her motherly duty to the country through courage and wisdom.
She said, “We want to thank you sincerely for how you’ve been able to bring us together as a campaign team for the APC, especially the women’s presidential campaign team. You really showed a lot of wisdom, dexterity, and courage in the way you put us together.
“I remember coming here to ask for your permission and also to solicit support when we were about to begin the campaign.
“As you’ve come here safely, you will live in your home in good health, divine health, and whatever you decide to do; God will be there with you, thank you so much for the love you have shown to us.”
