The report quoted a statement by Aisha’s director of information, Suleiman Haruna, as saying the wife of the president observed that during the last election, women participated fully in the voting process and ensured that the APC was elected.
She said this was the reason the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari initiated the social investment programmes targeted at the women and their children in order to engage them and reduce the level of poverty among them.
Asking them to spread what she called the good news of the accomplishments of the current administration, Aisha noted that women have been at the receiving end of the struggles of men.
Calling for a one-minute silence in honor of all soldiers that lost their lives in the process of securing the country, she urged the government to release their entitlements.
