be addressed as such going forward.

With her large smile that easily lights

up a room, Mrs Buhari’s sense of

direction is established.

Her jovial nature belies a strong

personality who says what she thinks.

Speaking at the Appreciation Dinner

held last night ,June 13th at the state

house , mrs Buhari shared some of the

challenges experienced on the campaign

trail, ensuring that she diffused a

potential life threatening situation with

light laughter which shows her sense of

balanced perspective on the trials that

come with being in the public glare.

She attributed the success of the

camapaign to team work and was

profoundly greatful to the team ,

women and youth that helped vote her

husband into office.

She also attributed all her success and

achievements to the support of the

President who encouraged her to go to

school even while raising 5 children

where she eventually got her Master’s

degree in International affairs and

Strategic studies from the Nigerian

Defence Acadmy NDA

“We are celebrating our victory” she

said and for every victory celebration,

there is a party and a party it was

indeed with beautifully and fashionably

women from every state in the nation

across every class ably represented

seated as peers.

Also in attendance was the wife of the

Vice President Mrs Oludolapo Osinbajo,

who also celebrated the women who

came en-masse to vote despite

challenging situations, she regaled us

with a story of the egg seller who had

never flown in an airplane but was

flown in for the party and was bring

her eggs and how security did not allow

the eggs on the plane.

Mrs Osinbajo told us of how Mrs Buhari

had continuously spoken about the

Chibok girls and how meeting with the

parents was a priority.

With an agenda ,giving focus to women

issues, the wife of the president wants

to see more women in the legislature

even from the local government level.

While observing the decline of women

in the legislative , a situation she hopes

to help reverse; she believes

empowerment from the ward level will

better affect the ordinary woman on the

street which was a point she

highlighted in an interview with a local

news station during the election

campaigning.
