Wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, has charged privileged Nigerians to do more in the lives of the less-privileged with a view to increasing the feeling of humanity among citizens.
She made the charge during the distribution of gifts to patients at the four district hospitals in Abuja which include Asokoro, Garki, Wuse and Maitama in commemoration of her birthday, on Friday 17th February, 2017.
In a statement issued by her Director of Information, Mr. Suleiman Haruna, Mrs. Buhari, who was speaking through a Senior Special Assistant to the President, Dr. Hajo Sani, further said that imbibing the spirit of giving would spread love and amity in the polity.
Dr. Sani said the gifts exemplified the work that Wife of the President’s project, Future Assured, was doing all over Nigeria, especially to the less privileged.
“Her Excellency wants to remember the less-privileged on this important day and that is why she is sharing with them. She wants to touch their lives and wants them to feel her on this symbolic day,” said Dr. Hajo Sani.
The Medical Director, District Hospital, Asokoro, Dr. Abubakar Ahmadu, who led the team round maternity, neonatal and paediatric wards in the hospital, commended the wife of the President for her humanitarian services and said the gift packs were symbolic of what privileged Nigerians should do to the underprivileged.
Dr. Sani was supported by Dame Pauline Tallen, former Deputy Governor of Plateau State, and Mrs. Beatrice Bassey, Coordinator, African First Ladies Peace Mission at the outing.
