At the inaugural meeting of the APC women presidential campaign
initiative held in Abuja yesterday, Saturday January 24th, wife of the APC
presidential flag-bearer reacted to her husband’s promise to scrap the
office of the first lady because it is unconstitutional and allegedly
being used to steal public fund. Below is what she told newsmen.
"When my husband is elected as the president of this country, he will
rule the country within the rule of law based on the constitution of the
country. If the office of the first lady is constitutionally
recognised, he will not tamper with it, but if it is not that’s okay.
For me, I will perform my duties and role as the wife of the President
of Nigeria traditionally. Wives of presidents have some traditional
roles, like receiving guests, visiting orphanages, helping the less
privileged people. They also lead in the fight for the right of women
and malnourished children, infant mortality rate, kidnapping and
girl-child trafficking" (NAN)
