“My Husband has been contesting for decade now, this particular election is unique” – Mrs Buhari

Hajia Aisha Buhari, the wife of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, expressed gratitude to Bola Tinubu for his support, which brought Muhammadu Buhari’s ten years presidential quest to reality.

Mrs Buhari shared her opinion on March 18th during the town hall meeting of the Lagos Central senatorial district hosted by Senator Oluremi Tinubu.

General Buhari’s spouse also said that Goodluck Jonathan’s time in the office was ending.

Mrs Tinubu, wife of the All Progressives Congress national leader, on her part, accused the Peoples Democratic Party of building castles in the air with economic gains that did not distil to the populace.

Mrs Buhari characterized the upcoming elections as a unique contest for her spouse, after three previous runs.

“My husband, General Muhammadu Buhari has been contesting presidential elections for over a decade now, but this particular election is unique because our leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu jettisoned his personal interest for the sake of Nigeria.”

Senator Oluremi Tinubu commented on the current situation, saying that the economy is weakening because of over-dependence on oil and excessive importation.

“Although the Nigerian economy is projected as the largest in Africa, this has not translated into visible wealth per household, and there is a progressive failure in Nigeria under the watch of the ruling PDP.

“As elections draw close, I urge us to be resolute in the choice of our leaders.  The future is not about me, but it is about our children and the legacies we want to bequeath to them.  I invite you to join me and our party, the All Progressives Congress to work for a better Nigeria.”

Bola Tinubu’s name was involved in a widely publicised controversy in connection with the upcoming elections.  The ruling party alleged that the former Lagos state governor was plotting to become Nigeria’s president through the “back door”. The APC, however, called the claims “sickening and outlandish”.
