A section of APC members in the House of Representatives, yesterday, threw their weight behind wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, for her bravery in speaking out on the state of the All Progressives Congress, APC-led administration in Nigeria, vanguardngr.com reports. The lawmakers’ verdict was unanimous at the weekend as they advised President Muhammadu Buhari to listen to his wife’s counsel and use it to better his administration.
Chairman of the House Committee on Legislative Budget, Timothy Golu, in his reaction to the first lady’s interview with BBC, said Mrs. Buhari was closer to her husband than any other person and as such, understood him better. He said: “She’s drawing her husbands attention to issues that sycophants around him would not tell him.
But she has come out with the truth and is saying it because she loves the husband.” “She is closer to the man (Buhari) more than any other person and since she has voiced this out, the husband should take it and review some of his actions and decisions. “It will not be good for the President to ignore the complaints from the wife.
She has been with him and is disturbed by certain things happening around the husband, so it’s natural for her to talk.” Buhari-Aisha Speaking almost in the same vein, Ehiozuwa.Johnson Agbonayinma, Egor/Ikpoba Okha Federal constituency, said the first lady’s interview had vindicated most of them who had continuously maintained that the President had been hijacked by a cabal.
He called on Nigerian women to rally round the first lady and support her “in her campaign to save Nigeria from the hands of a few selfish individuals.” He also noted that the first lady must have swallowed her worry for long and had decided to speak out in frustration
