First Lady Aisha Buhari has urged wives of incoming and re-elected Governors to support their husbands with the aim of surmounting predicaments affecting the country and realize a blossom and robust economy for sustainable development.
The first lady also alerted wives of the Governors on their roles on grassroots development for the benefit of the entire nation.
Mrs Buhari who spoke yesterday in Abuja during the Induction Programme for Governors’ wives pleaded with them that irrespective of their differences and experiences, the challenges should not stop their commitments to serve Nigeria better.
According to Aisha Buhari, the renewed hope for the spouses of the Governors is a vision that requires capacity building and strategies for more impactful democratic change and inclusion.
She said, “Irrespective of our differences and experiences, our challenges should not deter our commitments to serve Nigeria better. Our “renewed hope” is a vision that requires capacity building and strategies for more impactful democratic change and inclusion. This summit is hence important in providing participants, opportunities to fine-tune their collective vision for more effective democratization.
“Let us try and turn our current challenges into opportunities for creating a new Nigerian that is safe, secure and sustainable. On this note,, I challenge all to remain focused, dedicated and committed to the flight of our children and the nation.”
The Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF and Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal in his remarks urged the Governors’wife to use the platform to effect change, to uplift communities, and to foster unity.
