The wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari has apologized to Nigerians on Friday for the terrible economic realities and insecurity endured under the Buhari-led administration.
“The regime might not have been a perfect one, but I want to seize this opportunity to seek forgiveness from the Ulamas and Nigerians in general. We all need to work together to achieve a better Nigeria,” Mrs Buhari said during the 62nd Independence Day Special Juma’at prayer and Public Lecture themed ‘Shura: The Islamic Foundation of True Democracy’ at the National Mosque Conference Hall, Abuja.
While applauding security agencies’ efforts to combat terrorism, she stated that Nigerians “must unite and fight against security challenges.”
She stated that her office has put in place several programs in sectors such as agriculture, entrepreneurship, and youth and women involvement to soften the consequences and provide alternatives to enhance the government’s efforts toward citizens’ wellbeing.
