President Muhammadu Buhari has described how Aisha Buhari,
his wife, has been helping to improve the lives of Nigerians.
In the forward of her biography which was launched on
Thursday, Buhari said the book had given him an opportunity to say a few words
about his wife.
He said Aisha, through her programme ‘Future Assured’ had
been able to fulfil her dreams of helping the poor, sick, and underprivileged
even in remote areas.
He also noted how she had immersed energy into taking the
defence of women, children and vulnerable people in society.
“Aisha as the world has come to know her is kind hearted;
this made her transitioning into philanthropy and humanitarianism easy when she
became First Lady. Her protective mien also translates to the special energy
she exerts when women, children, and vulnerable people are abused. I have
observed with keen interest as she addresses many of the social concerns that
have given her sleepless nights,” he said.
“Her programme, Future Assured, has provided her with a
special vehicle to actualize her dreams: reaching the poor, sick and
underprivileged families to improve their wellbeing, sometimes in remote areas,
especially IDPs.
“The stance she has taken in defence of women in our society
across our rich ethnic diversity also ranks very high amongst her passing. This
plays a significant role in her ability to organize and coordinate likeminded
people around a singular agenda.”
Buhari said all these efforts by Aisha have helped improved
the lives of Nigerians, making the country worthy of pride and making her a
worthy partner for him.
“All these have added impetus to the effort of the
government in improving lives of Nigerians through a more robust economy and a
nation worthy of our love and pride. She has therefore been a worthy partner
and a beacon for some of the good things that Nigerians have come to identify
with our government,” he said.
