ABUJA — Hours after the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the first lady, Aisha Muhammadu Buhari asked Nigerians to pray for the country.
Aisha made the plea on her verified Facebook page on Sunday when she posted the hashtag, “#prayfornigeria” alongside an expressionless photo of herself as well as an image of candlelight on a dark background suggestive of a mourning mood.
Beneath the candlelight was emblazoned the caption, ‘Sufficient for us is Allah, and He is the Best Guardian. The Excellent Protector and the Excellent Helper’.
The First Lady’s comment followed the ratification of the preferred candidate of her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari for the position of the national chairman of the ruling party, Abdullahi Adamu.
The ratification of Adamu, a former member of the Peoples Democratic Party, and other members of the incoming APC National Working Committee and Zonal Leaders of the party was part of activities at the convention of the party, which commenced on Saturday and ended in the early hours of Sunday at the Eagles Square, Abuja.
Many critics including the PDP have faulted the emergence of Adamu whom they claimed had been arraigned in court on 149 counts of alleged fraudulent award of contracts and stealing of public funds estimated at N15bn.
