Outgoing First Lady, Mrs Aisha Buhari, has canvassed a special privilege to to wives of Presidents as against the existing position.
The First Lady explained that the application of certain privileges such as the provision of vehicles, sponsored medical treatments and provision of some stipends, among others that are due to former Presidents be given to past presidents wives .
According to her, first ladies deserved these privileges just like their husbands or Presidents in office and out of office because when the pressure comes, nobody wants to know whether you are out of the villa or not.
Aisha Buhari spoke at the launching of a book in Abuja authored by the President of the Defence and Police Officers’ Wives Association (DEPOWA), Mrs Vickie Anwuli Irabor, titled, “The Journey of a Military Wife”.
Explaining why the privileges should be extended to first ladies, Mrs Buhari said, “I married my husband as the wife of a former president. I am going in a few days as a wife of a former president a second time.
“They should consider us as former first ladies. They should incorporate the first ladies, give us some privileges that we deserve as first ladies, not just the former presidents”.
