Aisha Buhari Apologises For Raging In The Villa

First Lady Aisha Buhari has apologised for the viral video where she was shown in a rage in the Presidential Villa over her lockout from a section of the Presidential Villa.

She made the apology when she received wives of the nation’s 36 governors who visited her in the Presidential Villa to welcome her after her two month sojourn abroad.

She directed her apology to her children and well meaning Nigerians over the embarrassment the video might have caused.

The viral video had depicted her raging after she claimed she was locked out of some sections of the Presidential Villa by her husband’s nephew and her family.

Her spokesman, Suleiman Haruna in a statement said the meeting with the wives of the governors was also attended by the wife of the Vice President, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Women Affairs, Dr Hajo Sani, wife of former Governor of Nasarawa State Mrs Mairo Al-Makura among others.

Mrs. Buhari had on her return to the country last weekend confirmed that she was the woman in the video and Fatima, a daughter of the president’s nephew, Mamman Daura also subsequently confirmed recording the video.

At the meeting with the visiting first ladies from the states, Mrs. Buhari said she had secured 2.7 hectare of land in Abuja for the construction of permanent secretariat of the mission.

 ”I have successfully secured 2.7 hectre of land in Abuja for the construction of the Permanent secretariat,” she said.

The first lady thanked the governors’ wives for their continued support and partnership with her NGO, the Future Assured Programme, in providing support to women and children, especially in the areas of health, education and women and youths empowerment.

She also thanked the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the governors’ wives for supporting the advocacy to improve maternal and child health in Nigeria.

She also used the opportunity to thank President Muhammadu Buhari for approving the appointment of some Special Assistants and Senior Special Assistants to assist in carrying out activities of her office.

According to her, the gesture will assist her to concentrate more in the home front.

On her part, the representative of Northern Governors Wives Forum and Wife of Borno State Governor, Dr Falmata Zulum, declared their loyalty and support to the first lady towards uplifting the lives of women and children in Nigeria.

”I want to assure you of our loyalty and support to all your initiative towards uplifting the wellbeing of women and children in Nigeria.

”We are ever ready to take on any assignment in seeing that women and children are in good health, especially with your Future Assured Programme.

“We are going to give you all the necessary support you require because we believe any decision you take will be in the best interest of women and children in Nigeria,” Zulum said.

Also speaking,  the Chairperson of Southern Governors Wives Forum, Mrs Betsy Obaseki, said they were at the State House to welcome the first lady from her visit to the United kingdom and thanked God for her safe return in good health.

Obaseki prayed the Almighty God to guide and protect the first lady to achieve her purpose of being there for the wellbeing of women and children in Nigeria.
