The wife of the Nigerian President, Aisha Buhari, has urged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), not to go back on its campaign promises.
In a statement by her Special Assistant on Media, Adebisi Olumide-Ajayi, on Tuesday, Mrs Buhari appealed to the party not to go back on its campaign promises of paying 5,000 Naira to 25 million unemployed Nigerians and giving school children one free meal a day.
The reminder from the wife of the President came after Senators from the ruling party voted against a motion moved by the opposition, calling on the Presidency to pay the 5,000 Naira allowance, as promised.
Mrs Buhari said that the APC was a party of integrity and had assured Nigerians during the campaign that it would pay 5,000 Naira each month to 25 million most vulnerable citizens.
Mrs Buhari, however, asked Nigerians to be patient with the APC government, as the change they had been yearning for, had come to stay.
On November 6 the APC assured Nigerians that it would not renege on its campaign promise to pay 5,000 Naira each monthly to 25 million most vulnerable Nigerians.
The party, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, called on the citizens to ignore what it called a mischievous attempt by the PDP to confuse and mislead them on this issue.
