Aisha Buhari, wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, has criticized the primary election conducted by the All Progressives Congress, APC, in some states. Aisha in a post on her verified Twitter page, expressed disappointment over the processes employed during election.
She called on Nigerians to speak out against such impunity employed by ruling party leadership.
Aisha said: “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 results 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!”
