Wife of the President, Hajiya Aisha Muhammadu Buhari arrived Kebbi State on Thursday, February 4, for the formal flag off of the 2016 Maternal and Child Health Week. She was received at the airport by the state governor Abubakar Bagudu and his wife, Dr Zainab Atiku Bagudu and other state officials.
The First Lady’s visit coincided with the World Cancer Day, where she used the occasion to commission the state cancer-screening exercise. While harping on the importance of maternal and child healthcare, urged governments to give priority to the issues of health.
Mrs Buhari commissioned the multi million Naira Jega General Hospital named after her and the newly upgraded Birnin Yari Primary Health centre.
The first lady, Aisha Buhari has called on her husband, president Muhammadu Buhari to heed to the call of the bloodshed and suffering of citizens.
This is coming following the movement against police brutality, EndSARs protest, that has been on for the last 10 days.
In support of the EndSARs movement, the first lady via her official Twitter page shared a video with a compilation of photos of President Buhari in a meeting with all the service chiefs, crowned with a hashtag #AChechijamaa which means ârescue the people.â
The background song used in the video is titled âArewa na Kukaâ which means âthe North weeps,â a song by Kannywood actor Adam Zango.
A loose translation to the song is, âIn the name of God, pay attention/We seek your help/The North is weeping/ Our blood is being shed/Our people are being killed/Our property torched.â
