Aisha Buhari reveals why her husband became President after four consecutive times

The wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, has advised Nigerians to emulate her husband by never giving up on their dreams and aspirations.

She said her husband became Nigeria’s president in 2015 due to his doggedness, persistence and compassion for the masses.

She said this in Abeokuta on Tuesday during the inauguration of a book titled, “Buhari vs Yar’Adua: Facing the future,” written by Mr. Opeyemi Soyombo, the Special Assistant on Media to Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State.

Buhari’s wife was represented by the wife of the Ogun State governor, Olufunso Amosun.

She commended the efforts of the author, who documented the legal struggles of her husband in the 2007 election petition challenging the victory of the late President Umaru Yar’Adua.

Buhari eventually lost the case despite moving from the Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court, trying to prove that he won the 2007 presidential election.

He, however, never gave up on his presidential ambition.

Aisha noted that the importance of record-keeping could not be overemphasised because without it, history would be distorted.

She said there were lots of lessons to learn from the life of President Buhari who contested presidential elections four consecutive times before he eventually won in 2015.
