As the political season hots up,
opponents of the APC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, took up a
fresh challenge – Aisha Buhai, the candidate’s wife.
There have been rumours that Aisha Buhari is not a Nigerian.
The wife of the former head of state has however cone out to say that she is a full Nigerian contrary to the speculations.
She spoke through Mrs. Deborah Iliya, a
chieftain of APC in Kaduna State who represented her at the public
presentation of a book, “Wind of change: 72 leadership qualities of
Buhari,” written by a civil rights activist and Executive Director of
Gatekeepers Foundation, Mr. Blessing Agbomhere, on Friday.
“Let me use this opportunity to deliver a
message because there may not be another opportunity to deliver it. We
know what is going on in the country today. It has reached the stage
that people are hunting for Buhari not to reach that day of election.
“They have also said that Aisha Buhari
is not a Nigerian. Aisha said I should tell everyone that she is a
Nigerian. Does it even matter if she is not a Nigerian? What has that
got to do with what is happening in this country?” Iliya stated.
Iliya further quoted Buhari’s wife to
have rooted for a woman president in Nigeria in the nearest future as
part of the total change package.
She said, “Aisha said she is pleased
because the author is a young man; this is an indication that our youths
have always understood the problems of this country and they are really
pulling us together to fight a common front and that is change.
“We need change in Nigeria. For the past
six years, we have been suffering; I wish a woman has been President we
wouldn’t have been in this mess. So women, she (Aisha) has asked that I
should encourage you to come out and be part of nation building. We are
powerful; we are strong and stronger than the men.
“Please support women and next time we will have a woman President in Nigeria.”
Is Aisha Buhari a foreigner? She says she is not
