Wife of the President, Mrs.
Aisha Buhari, says Nigeria is now enjoying improved governance under President
Muhammadu Buhari.
She, however, said artistes
should partly take credit for the feat because of their support for the
President and his administration.
According to a statement by
her spokesman, Suleiman Haruna, the President’s wife spoke during the
presentation of “Sakamakon Chanji”, a song in support of Buhari by Northern
Nigeria Music Artistes at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday evening.
“I can safely say that you
all have done the needful and therefore you are partly to take credit for the
improved governance that Nigeria is enjoying today,”
Mrs. Aisha Buhari was
quoted as saying. She noted that it is important to honour the artistes because
their contributions to the success of the government cannot be quantified.
She urged the artistes to
continue to use their talent and popularity to mobilise Nigerians towards
unity, peace, tolerance, and productivity.
Mrs. Buhari also urged them
to always speak against vices that destroy societies like drug abuse, human
trafficking and child abuse.
Mrs. Buhari expressed the
conviction that the song, “Sakamakon Chanji”, is a true compliment to the
present administration, as it highlights various visionary projects being
undertaken and the impact that the projects are making.
She said it was important
that citizens know what their elected government is doing to improve their
lives.
Mrs. Buhari also seized the
opportunity of the event to honour some of the artistes for using their various
talents and contributions in propagating the success of government.
“We are celebrating
artistes because they celebrated our President at various points in his
political career; and to a large extent, they represent the resilient Nigerian
masses that protected the President and his votes until he achieved success,”
she said.
The event was honoured with
a brief appearance by President Muhammadu Buhari.
