Aisha Buhari, the wife of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, has said her husband will not tamper with the office of the ‘First Lady,’ if it is constitutionally recognised.
Mrs. Buhari told
newsmen on the sidelines of the inaugural meeting of the APC women presidential
campaign initiative held in Abuja on Saturday.
The wife of the APC
presidential flag-bearer was reacting to her husband’s promise to scrap the
office of the first lady because it is unconstitutional and allegedly being
used to steal public fund.
According to her, where
such does not exist constitutionally, she will limit her roles to the
traditional functions of visiting orphanages and caring for society’s
downtrodden as the first lady.
“`When my husband is
elected as the president of this country, he will rule the country within the
rule of law based on the constitution of the country.
“If the office of the
first lady is constitutionally recognised, he will not tamper with it, but if
it is not that’s okay.
“For me, I will perform
my duties and role as the wife of the President of Nigeria traditionally.
“Wives of presidents
have some traditional roles, like receiving guests, visiting orphanages,
helping the less privileged people.
“They also lead in the
fight for the right of women and malnourished children, infant mortality rate,
kidnapping and girl-child trafficking,’’ she said.
While inaugurating the
initiative, Mrs Buhari urged the women to unite and cooperate with the men by
mobilising women at all levels to ensure success at the February polls.
