“For those that are campaigning, saying that he (Buhari) is coming to jail Nigerians, I don’t know what their fear is.
“But they shouldn’t be afraid because we are all yearning for change.
“The insecurity in the country, the very poor healthcare system, lack of education and other basic necessities that people are lacking, I believe Nigerians need somebody like General Muhammadu Buhari now.
“Already, they have painted him black, using religion.
“I’m happy today that Nigerians realise that they use religion as a cover to loot Nigeria,” Aishat said.
She added, “In each zone of the country,
we have peculiar problems; our problems differ. For me, in this zone,
girl-child trafficking should be considered (as) one of our problems,
though I know that there is unemployment. Unemployment is a major factor
that contributes to brain-drain and also the girl-child trafficking.

“Buhari is a leader. He was a leader; he led Nigeria some decades ago and he is coming back now to sanitise the system.”
While urging women to uphold and not
sell their Permanent Voter Cards but to use them to vote for a new
Nigeria, she however assured the people that her husband’s

elected.

“I am here today to say that when my
husband is elected into the office of the President of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, all these are going to be history. The insecurity,
girl-child trafficking, suffering of the widows in the South-East will;
all of them will come to an end.”

There must be a cultural design to
accommodate the widows; a design that will make the girl-child to be
comfortable wherever she is in this country.

“The collection of PVCs is also
important. Don’t ever sell it; it is like selling your future again.
When you sell it for N5, 000, you won’t see N5, 000 till after four
years, which is too bad for you. Get your PVC, vote for the APC. Vote
for freedom, good education, good healthcare, good road and all the
basic necessities should be given to you. Thank you, so much for waiting
in the sun for hours to see me; I love you all,” Mrs. Buhari said.
