"We've reached another milestone, we must quickly move on to others." Mrs Buhari writes Nigerians

Mrs Aisha Buhari, the wife of the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari has appealed to Nigerians to throw their support behind her husband as his journey to leadership starts in earnest. Find her letter below.

My fellow Nigerians,

Today, your voices are loud and clear. Today, the choices made by you all on Saturday and Sunday have just been confirmed by the electoral commission. The message is clear: CHANGE. You took all sorts of inconveniences: Some of you trekked for miles, stood for hours, and waited till the end of the counting before going home. Many of you even waited throughout the night to ensure you cast your votes.

For your sacrifice, your patience, your determination to be part of the democratic process from start to finish, you, my fellow Nigerians, are the real heroes of the last few days. You have stood firm, you have endured, in order to see the Nigeria of your dreams, in order to have a chance at a better future for your children, and in order to state your displeasure about the direction in which this country is going.

And that is what this election is about. You. All of you. Now, no one can treat your complaints in a nonchalant manner. No one can neglect you for years, only to try to correct mistakes in a few weeks because of re-election. You have spoken, and your wishes are clear.

I want to thank you all for supporting my husband on this journey towards a better nation. We have now reached another milestone, and we must quickly move on to others. To be successful, he needs your support. He cannot lead Nigeria alone. We have challenging times ahead as we try to right some of the wrongs in our country, and only by sticking together on this journey, will we be triumphant.

I also want to take this opportunity to appeal to supporters of the PDP, to accept the results in good faith as the will of the people. Nigeria is greater than any of us, and we must not, by our words and deeds in public or private, put the existence of this nation at risk, or cause harm to any of its citizens.

Now is the time to truly begin the process of healing this nation. Now is the time to stop dividing Nigeria by ethnicity or religion. Now is the time for this country to truly begin to work for all.

Once again, thank you all. I look forward to continuing this journey together.

God bless you, and God bless Nigeria.

Patience Jonathan seeks support for General Buhari’s wife

Dame Patience Jonathan, wife of President Goodluck Jonathan in a congratulatory message to Hajia Aisha Buhari, wife of the President-elect on her husband’s victory at the presidential election also urged Nigerian women to support the soon-to-be First Lady.
A statement released by her media aide, Ayo Adewuyi reads,


“The First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan (Mama Peace) has congratulated the wife of the President-elect, Hajia Aisha Buhari on the election of her husband, General Muhammadu Buhari.

“The First Lady appeals to the Nigerian women to work with Hajia Aisha Buhari and give her the maximum support to make her succeed in her new assignment. The First Lady (Mama Peace) wishes her well in her new task.”

Aisha Buhari tweets congratulatory message to husband.

Nigeria’s first lady in waiting, Mrs Aisha Buhari who joined social networking site, twitter not too long ago has posted her congratulatory message to her husband, General Muhammadu Buhari who just won the Nigerian presidential election.
“I am so proud of my husband and the team who have worked hard to make this happen. Nigerians are aware now more than ever that the people have the power to sway the fate of a nation. We must see this as a triumphant show of democracy, a change for the better. I am excited for the future of this nation as We now have a mandate for Change.I too have watched with bated breath as the results have been announced. It has been a gripping day for democracy in Nigeria.”

Mrs Buhari to Patience Jonathan, "Don't be afraid of jail".

Mrs Aishat Buhari, wife of the All Progressives Congress, APC’s presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari while addressing the people of Edo State today asked Dame Patience Jonathan not to entertain fear of being jailed if her husband wins the election.

Recall that Mrs Jonathan told women in Tuesday not to vote for Buhari saying she isn’t prepared to feed her husband in jail.

“These are digital women, not analogue.” She began. “Each zone of the country has its peculiar problem. For me in this zone, girl-child trafficking should be considered one of our problems, though I know there is unemployment. Unemployment is the major factor that contributes to brain drain and also the girl-child trafficking. General Muhammadu Buhari is a leader who led Nigeria some decades ago and he is coming back now to sanitise the system,”


She continued, “For those that are campaigning, saying that he is coming to jail Nigerians, I don’t know what their fear is. But they shouldn’t be afraid, because we are all yearning for change. 



The insecurity in the country, the very poor healthcare system, lack of education and other basic necessities that people are lacking I believe Nigerians need somebody like General Muhammadu Buhari now.

“Already, they have painted him black, using religion. I’m happy today that Nigerians realize that they use religion as a cover to loot Nigeria. Any politician who talks to you about religion is a liar, he only wants to loot the treasury and the little resources you ought to enjoy. So say no politics merging it with religion to deceive the people.

“I’m here today to let Edo women know that when my husband is elected into office as President, all these will be history. The insecurity, the girl-child trafficking, suffering of the widows in the South East will come to an end. There must be a cultural design that can accommodate the widow.

A design that would make the girl-child comfortable wherever she is in this country. She doesn’t have to leave her country to go and prostitute elsewhere, it’s not her portion. Her portion is to have a highly standard and moral society for her to live in. Get married, have children, train them and also mould them to become the future leaders.

“We are here today to also let you know that the collection of your PVCs is important and don’t ever sell it. It’s like selling your future. If you sell it for N5,000, you won’t see N5,000 again until after four years which will be bad. Get your PVC, vote for APC, vote for freedom, vote for a new Nigeria with good security, good education, good healthcare, good roads and all the basic necessities.” She concluded.
