Aisha Buhari donates Christmas gifts to injured troops
The Wife of the President, Hajiya Aisha
Buhari, on Tuesday, donated Christmas gifts to soldiers injured at the
battlefield in Sambisa Forest.
The items were distributed on her behalf
by Hajiya Nana Shettima, the Chairperson of Mrs Aisha Buhari’s
Committee on Distribution of Donated Items at Maimalari cantonment,
Maiduguri.
Shettima also visited other injured troops at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri.
According to her, Buhari’s gesture is to
celebrate Christmas festivities with the injured and to appreciate
their efforts in restoring peace.
“Both religions say how good and pleasant it is when God makes us enjoy together in peace, tranquillity, progress and unity.
“I am not here in my own capacity alone
but am wearing two caps; I am here representing the wife of the
president and as a wife of Borno governor,’’ she said.
She commended the gallant troops in
crushing the remnants and restoring peace to Borno, the north-eastern
region of the country and the nation at large.
