The First lady of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari, has appealed to Nigerians to accept the victory of APC’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in the just-concluded election as the will of God.
She gave this admonishment during a ‘thank-you’ visit by the wife of the president-elect, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, and the wife of the Vice President-elect, Hajiya Nana Shettima, to the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Her words,
“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 `a 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,” she said.
She also reminded the incoming first lady of the difficult task ahead of her and prayed for God’s guidance and direction as she prepares to take over the affairs of the Office of the First Lady of Nigeria.
“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,” Mrs Buhari said.
