The first lady of Nigeria, Mrs Aisha Buhari has warned her husband’s aides saying they should try and support him to fight corruption and not use their positions to curry favours, but to key into his agenda of fighting corruption and insecurity. She made this statement at a ‘‘thank you’ dinner she held for women and youths saying the immediate past president was not the bad person but the people that surrounded him. Below is what the first lady said at the dinner;
“So, the people that are going to be around General Buhari have to be very careful because this election ended peacefully.
“We are praying and hoping that people around him should know that it took him 12 years to get to that position and they must know that they are coming to serve the masses, not General Buhari in person. It is the people that are around him that will determine the political health of our state.
“There was nothing that people did not say about the past administration. It is not Jonathan that is not good, but the people around him.
“I will like to inform you that in the past regime, whether it is true or false, only God knows, some people were going round and parading themselves as PAs. If you wanted to see the First Lady, you will pay $30,000, $50,000 and if you are seeing the President, you will pay all that you have gathered in your lifetime, she said.
Good talk Mrs. Aishat Buhari, may God empower you and your husband to do that which God has called you both to do wisely and fearlessly.
