First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has said that she wished she could invite all 15 million Nigerians who voted for her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, during the presidential election held on February 23.
Mrs Buhari said this on Saturday night at a victory dinner organised by the Youth and Women Campaign Organisation at the Old Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa Abuja.
In a statement by her spokesman, Suleiman Haruna, Mrs Buhari assured that her husband would use his second tenure to serve the interest of the masses, especially by addressing the huge gap between the rich and the poor.
She said: “I wish I can invite all the 15 million Nigerians that voted for Mr. President to this dinner, but no place can accommodate you all. So let me say thank you and assure you that you made the right choice.
“Specifically, I wish to express my appreciation to the women and youth presidential campaign team that I initiated to complement the efforts of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.
“As you all know by now, the aim of setting up the team was to get women and youth, who form the majority of the electorate, involved in all the campaign activities across the country.”
Present at the event was the wife of the Vice President, Dolapo Osinbajo.
President Buhari, addressing those present, explained that it had taken long to reposition Nigeria because of the alleged time wasted by the Peoples Democratic Party-led administrations for 16 years.
