In a bid to ensure  the reelection of President Muhammadu  Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Dame Judith Amaechi has called on the Noble Women Movement for Buhari and Osinbajo (NWM4BO), a socio-political group of professional women in politics  to work at the grassroots level  for the actualisation of his victory at the 2019 Presidential Elections.

Speaking at its women Summit held in Abuja on Tuesday, Dame  Amaechi who is the  Chairperson Board of Women Directors, NWM4BO,  pointed out that the decision to support the reelection of the President was anchored on the remarkable achievements recorded in the last three years.

She said, “First it was because our President Buhari has done a great job that we decided to rally round him. He has made remarkable improvement from the time he took over three years ago.

“The President wife Aisha Buhari has also done well in her capacity with little or no resources and we as women have come together to give her the necessary backing so that they can finish up with the good job they have started and come February 2019 we shall make it to the Glory of God for a second term and this requires a lot of work”.

While alluding to the recently released audio  tapes in which her  husband, Minister of Transportation ,Hon Rotimi Amaechi was allegedly criticising the present administration, Dame Amaechi  called on the women to pray for her husband.

“My husband Rt Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, the DG Campaign for the president is working tirelessly but I want you even when this programme is over to pray for him because of the too many eyes that are on him not by any fault of his but because Gods favour is upon him. That the will of God will be done in Nigeria and that no man will take his position or take away what belongs to him,” she prayed.

While reeling out some of the achievements of the Buhari administration, she said,”For the first time, we can boost that federal money is going to capital projects. At least, I know my husband’s ministry is a moving train. I was able to board a train that looks like I am abroad and I have been able to ply some roads that before now were gullies.

“And in the Niger Delta , Buhari has shown strong strides. I want to encourage all of you don’t lose hope;don’t in anyway worry. I tell you, if you work very hard, God will always bless you and if we get what is right about Nigeria, even our kids yet unborn will say this is my country and I am very proud to associate with it.

“A country where there will be good education, good roads, good healthcare, transport and accommodation where you can have atleast basic meals, where you can go to work without being scared of insecurity, or fear of been beheaded or intimidated and excellence is the key”.

In her address, the National President, Pastor Mrs Mfawa Usani while commending Dame Judith Amaechi for her vision  also called on the women to ensure that President Muhammadu  is reelected by mobilising vigorously  at the grassroots level to ensure a better life for them.

Giving her goodwill message, Rev Sally Chinedu tasked the women to immediately begin rigorous  campaign at the ward level through the traditional means of information dissemination and by networking.

In his remarks, the Emir of Uke, HRM, Dr Abdullahi Hassan enjoined all women present to be the good ambassadors in their homes,  also commended the APC led Government for its continuous efforts at re-positioning the economy.

“I believe a woman is the engine room of a home and the her husband and no man can succeed without his wife”, he said.
