Aisha Buhari begs APC to fulfill ‘N5,000 promise’

Aisha Buhari, wife of the president, has appealed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) not to renege on the promise of paying N5,000 stipend to unemployed youths in the country.

Reacting to the development that unfolded at the senate over the issue, Mrs. Buhari, who partook actively in the campaign of the APC, reminded the ruling party of its promise.

“Her Excellency Aisha Buhari has appealed to the ruling party All Progressives Congress, APC not to renege on their campaign promise of paying N5,000 to 25 million unemployed Nigerians and giving school children one free meal a day,” read a statement issued on her behalf by Adebisi Olumide, her media aide.

“This comes after the senators from the party voted against the senate moving a motion calling on the presidency to pay the N5,000 allowance.

“The APC is 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.

“The wife of the president asked Nigerians to be patient with the APC government as the change they had been yearning for had come to stay.”
