The wife of the president, Mrs Aisha Buhari, on Thursday, described the victory of Tinubu as the will of God.
She said this when she received the wife of the president-elect, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, and the wife of the vice president-elect, Hajiya Nana Shettima, on a thank-you visit to the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
She said, “Regardless of our interests and diversity, we should all accept it as the will of Almighty God; we wouldn’t have done it without his grace.
“It is a victory for all Nigerians. I am optimistic that the president-elect will not betray the trust and confidence that Nigerians repose in him. It is now time to move on and focus on the path of `a renewed hope’ for Nigerian women and youths,” she said.
