The wife of the All Progressives Congress (apc) Presidential Candidate, Aisha Buhari, has asked women and men in the Northern part of the country not to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan whose wife, Dame Patience had earlier insulted them in the open.
Dame Patience Jonathan had allegedly described the region as an enclave of beggars and unwanted children which Hajiya Aisha condemned and asked people of goodwill to condemn it too.
Aisha insisted that for Dame Patience Jonathan to describe the Northerners as a bunch of Almajiri that give birth to children indiscriminately, she had shown that Jonathan regime has a hidden agenda.
She added that the people of the North should, therefore, reject the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate even as she promised Kano women that her husband and the APC will be faithful to their electoral promises, and also will initiate programmes that will make women self-reliant.
“With General Buhari in power, the spate of kidnapping and reckless assassination of innocent people will be history in Nigeria. With General Buhari in power, the nation’s depressing economy will be rebounded in line with the expectation of the citizens and world best practices.”
Hajiya Aisha said she was in Kano to canvass the support of women knowing their role as important pillars in winning election the world over, saying it would be a disaster for any politician to ignore the vital role of women.
She stressed the need for women to exhibit courage and fighting spirit, just as she urged them to make themselves available as foot soldiers during the election.
Hajiya Aisha Buhari called for more freedom for women in the North so that they would be able to engage themselves in productive enterprises like their counterparts in the Southern part of the country.
She commended the Kano State Government under the leadership of Rabiu Kwankwaso for its giant developmental strides, particularly in improving access to education.
She said that governor Kwankwaso’s administration took children out of streets to schools.
