The wife of the President, Aisha
Buhari, has explained that she criticised her husband in an interview granted
the BBC in 2016 out of her sense of justice, not that she intended to be
confrontational.
Aisha made the clarification
during an event where she was honoured as Vanguard Personality of the Year
2017.
The President’s wife, who was
represented by one of her daughters, Halima, said Nigerians elected her husband
based on the trust and confidence they have in him.
She says she stands by that and
expects that the administration must serve Nigeria to the best of its ability.
Aisha said, “I wish to thank the
management of Vanguard Media Limited for this unexpected award, in recognition
of my humanitarian efforts towards improving the health and welfare of
Nigerians particularly women, children and less privileged.
“One of the reasons adduced for
honouring me was the interview I granted which some people saw as criticism to
a government that I am part of.
“I need to state that my position
was a result of my sense of justice and not confrontation or disrespect. I was
brought up to stand by the truth and this is how I have always been.
“As we are all aware, Nigerians
elected this administration based on the trust and confidence they have on my
husband; I, therefore, feel that we are here to serve Nigeria to the best of
our ability.
“Let me use this opportunity to
state that I support my husband in this call to service and will continue to do
so.
“On this note, I hereby dedicate
this award to the people of Nigeria, especially women. Thank you sincerely for
this award.”
