Buhari's wife, Hajia Aisha Buhari, yesterday, opened up on the sacrificial support of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on her husband’s presidential aspiration, affirming that Tinubu’s support has brought Muhammadu Buhari’s ten-year presidential quest to near actualisation.
Aisha spoke as Tinubu declared that President Goodluck Jonathan’s time in office was up, lampooning the administration for having a morbid phobia for election upon what he claimed was years of missed opportunities and misgovernance.
The two spoke at the 14th town hall meeting of the Lagos Central senatorial district hosted by Senator Oluremi Tinubu (APC senatorial candidate), an occasion that drew some of the leading lights of the Lagos political crowd.
Mrs. Tinubu, at the occasion, blasted the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of building castles in the air with what she described as economic gains that did not distil to the populace.
The 14th edition of the Lagos Central senatorial district town-hall meeting tagged, ‘Treading the path to prosperity’ also saw the launch of a book written by Senator Oluremi Tinubu, entitled ‘Stewardship Report: A collection of Town Hall Speeches (2011-2014)’
Among those present at the event were Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, wife of Professor Yemi Osinbajo, APC vice-presidential candidate; Lagos State First Lady, Dame Abimbola Fashola, Senator Babafemi Ojodu, among others.
Mrs. Buhari said Asiwaju jettisoned personal interest to ensure that Professor Yemi Osinbajo emerged as vice-presidential candidate to her husband.
She also said the forthcoming presidential election would be a unique contest for General Buhari after three prior runs.
“My husband, General Muhammadu Buhari has been contesting presidential elections for over a decade now, but this particular election is unique because our leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu jettisoned his personal interest for the sake of Nigeria.”
In his remarks, Asiwaju Tinubu said the damage the PDP had done to Nigeria is enough, and the party should as such be voted out.
PDP’s time is up — Tinubu
He said the PDP is afraid of elections and that was why they had been objecting to the use of PVCs for the forthcoming elections.
“In my life, I have never seen an incumbent President that is afraid of elections and PVCs before.
Upon all the money the donor agencies contributed to the development of this new technology called PVC that will eliminate rigging, this government is running away from the elections.
“This is a month of clean hands, and you must go to your constituencies, wash your hands as if you are fighting Ebola virus, everybody should wash their hands because of the fingerprints. You must carry methylated spirits to clean your hands before voting. The PDP is afraid, and it is because they don’t have people.
Extolling the virtues of his wife, Tinubu stressed: “That my wife is a senator today was not a programme I supported. They collected the form and told me if I am not running, then release your wife to run. Today, I am really proud that she is a senator because she has made the Lagos Central senatorial district a better place.
