Aisha To Buhari’S Aides: Don’t Destroy My Husband Like They Did Jonathan

　

Hajiya Aisha Buhari, wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, has said it was not former President Goodluck Jonathan that was bad while in power, but the people that surrounded him.
Hajiya Buhari has, therefore, called on her husband’s aides and others that will soon be appointed to conduct themselves in a manner that will not embarrass the Presidency or destroy her husband’s government.
She spoke on Saturday night during an "Appreciation Dinner" she hosted in honour of All Progressives Congress women and youths at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
She noted that it took her husband a journey of 12 years before realising his dream, saying people around him should tread with caution.
According to her: "There is nothing people did not say about the past administration.
"It is not Jonathan that is not good, but the people around him.
"So, the people that are going to be around General Buhari have to be very careful because this election ended peacefully.
"We are praying and hoping that people around him should know that it took him 12 years to get to that position and they must know that they are coming to serve the masses, not General Buhari in person.
"It is the people that are around him that will determine the political health of our state."
Hajiya Buhari assured Nigerians that her husband would be accessible, adding that nobody will pay a penny before seeing the President or herself.
She spoke further: "I will like to inform you that in the past regime, whether it is true or false, only God knows, some people were going round and parading themselves as Personal Assistants.
"If you wanted to see the First Lady, you will pay $30,000 or $50,000 and if you are seeing the President, you will pay all that you have gathered in your lifetime.
"This will not happen in our regime.
"Whoever asks you to give a single penny in the name of coming to see the President or his wife is not our staff.
"He is not an APC member.
"It is a lie.
"Don’t be deceived."
Present at the dinner were wife of the Vice President, Dolapo Osinbajo; wife of the President of the Senate, Toyin Saraki; wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Gimbia Dogara; wife of the National Chairman of the APC, Victoria Odigie-Oyegun; wives of APC state
