Wife of the President, Dr. Mrs. Aisha Muhammadu Buhari has advised the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) to consider only card-carrying members for political appointments.
She made the call at a dinner to celebrate the victory of the President at Daura, his home town on Thursday 7th March, 2019.
The event, which took place at the Daura Stadium attracted women and youth supporters of the APC from across Katsina state.
Mrs. Buhari noted that the constitution of the party specifies that appointments to offices in an APC led government should go to card-carrying members; she therefore advised that the party constitution should be respected.

,“I wish to thank the women and youth of this country for the number of votes they gave President Buhari in the 2019 election and to assure that he will continue to do his best to make Nigeria a better country.”
