The wife of the Nigerian President, Aisha Buhari, Friday, apologised to Nigerians over the harsh economic realities and insecurity experienced under her husband’s government.
Speaking 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, Aisha Buhari said: “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”.
She urged Nigerians to pray for a peaceful transition of power in 2023, adding that citizens must unite to restore normalcy and peace in the most troubled parts of the country.
While lauding the efforts of security agencies in fighting terrorism, she said Nigerians “must unite and fight against security challenges”.
