advancement of women in Nigeria through her Future Assured Programme.
She was speaking at the NEXT LEVEL Thank you Celebration and Luncheon at
Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos on Saturday 16th March, 2019.
Mrs. Buhari said the President has already promised to engage more women
and youth in his second term. She therefore urged them not to relent in
the collective duty to make the NEXT LEVEL a reality.
“I wish to express my appreciation to Nigerians especially Women and Youth
for their unprecedented contribution towards our success at the election.
In particular I must mention the role played by the Women and Youth
Presidential Campaign Team I initiated to support the APC Presidential
Campaign Council.”
Mrs. Buhari attributed the success of the President to the firm belief
Nigerians have in the ability of this administration’s developmental
agenda to take us to the NEXT LEVEL. She therefore called on the President
and Vice President to continue to build on the foundation of the good
works they started in order to justify this confidence.
Earlier, wife of the vice President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo in her remarks
said the event was convened to celebrate with all those that contributed
in one way or the other to the successful re-election of the APC to lead
the country for the next four years. She said the party campaigned through
all the states of the country, even going from door to door to ensure that
the support of everyone was canvassed. She expressed happiness that
Nigerians responded positively to the campaign.
