Wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Muhammadu Buhari, has called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) to consider only card-carrying members for political appointments.
Mrs Buhari made the call Thursday night in Daura at a dinner to celebrate the president’s victory.
She said the constitution of the party specifies that appointments to offices in an APC-led government should go to card-carrying members, stressing that the party’s constitution should be respected.
She also expressed appreciation to women and youth on the support that the party enjoyed in the last presidential and National Assembly elections, and assured that the federal government would do more to improve their lives.
“I wish to thank the women and youth of this country for the number of votes they gave President Buhari in the 2019 election and to assure that he will continue to do his best to make Nigeria a better country,” she said.
One of the speakers at the event, Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika praised the electorate for choosing President Muhammadu Buhari, whose integrity, he said, is time-tested.
He assured that the president’s second tenure would result in development in all spheres of endeavour.
The minister also commended Mrs Buhari for engaging women and youth during the presidential campaign, which resulted in the massive votes for the APC.
Goodwill messages were also delivered by many politicians including Woman Leader of the APC, Mrs. Binta Muazu, and Senator Fatuhu Mohammed, representing Daura Zone, among others.
The event was attended by wife of the Governor of Katsina state, Mrs Zakiyya Aminu Bello Masari; wife of the Deputy Governor, Mrs Mannir Yakubu; and wife of the Minister of Interior, Mrs Hadiza Dambazau.
