Wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, has tasked women and youths of the All Progressive Congress (APC) to ensure victory for the party in the forthcoming Presidential election.

Mrs Buhari, who spoke in Hausa, said: “In 2015, the APC made some promises; and I have come out to campaign for its victory in the 2019 polls because the party has fulfilled some of the promises it made to Nigerians.

“Those promises include; the school feeding programme for primary school pupils, the N-Power programme, under which some unemployed graduates are being gainfully engaged and are earning N30,000 monthly.
