Nigeria’s First Lady, Aisha Buhari has publicly condemned the All Progressives Congress (APC) for its inability to conduct a free and fair party election.
The First Lady shared a statement via social media on Sunday morning where she made it known that the party is overridden by impunity despite being run by a comrade, Adams Oshiomole who supposedly fights for the cause of the common man.
Read full statement:
“It is disheartening to note that some aspirants used their hard earned money to purchase nomination forms, got screened, cleared and campaigned vigorously yet found their names omitted on Election Day, these forms were bought at exorbitant prices.
Many others contested and yet had their result delayed. Fully knowing that AUTOMATIC tickets have been given to other people.All Progressives Congress being a party whose cardinal principle is change and headed by a comrade/ activist whose main concern is for the common man, yet, such impunity could take place under its watch.

Given this development one will not hesitate than DISSOCIATE from such unfairness, be neutral and speak for the voiceless.
It is important for the populace to rise against impunity and for voters to demand from aspirants to be committed to the provision of basic amenities such as:
1. Potable drinking water
2. Basic health care ( Primary Health Care centers)
3. Education within conducive & appropriate learning environments.
Let us vote wisely !!!!
LONG LIVE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA!!!!!!”
Nigerians reacting to the statement have hailed her confidence to publicly call out a party where her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari is a leading member. Others say she is simply bitter about the party’s gubernatorial primaries in Adamawa state where her brother, Dr Mahmood Halilu lost.
