Nigeria's First Lady, Aisha Buhari Hosts Wives Of States Governors

Wife of President Buhari, Aisha Buhari, met with wives of the 36 state governors at the First Lady Conference Hall in the state house today January 18th. During the meeting which had in attendance the wife of the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Mrs Buhari challenged the first ladies to make an impact in their state despite the lack of constitutional powers for them to do so. She urged them to work in Unity.

"As wives of political office holders, we must continue to do our best in contributing to the success. I believe in our little ways, we can assist them to bring succour to the populace, especially those in need such as victims of insurgency in the North East and other forms of violence, physically challenged and other vulnerable groups. It is on this note I felt it is important for us to come together to strengthen our unity and extend our solidarity to each other under a common platform. There, we need to develop strong leadership structures in the two regions not only in one as the case with the already known Northern Governors Wives Forum of the country.”she said
