President Muhammadu Buhari Monday in Abuja pledged support to the resolutions of the African First Ladies Peace Mission (AFLPM) aimed at promoting peace and development in the continent.
Addressing the opening ceremony of the 9th General Assembly of the
AFLPM, the President also urged African Leaders and other
stakeholders to support the women in realising their core objective of
building a peaceful society.
The Nigerian leader expressed concern that peace has become an elusive
subject that affects development in many regions of Africa.
According to a statement by presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina,
President Buhari congratulated the Nigerian First Lady, Dr Aisha
Buhari, for acquiring a piece of land on behalf of all First Ladies for the
development of a secretariat for the Mission in Abuja.
The 9th General Assembly of the AFLPM unanimously elected the First
Lady of Nigeria as the new President.
In her acceptance speech, Aisha Buhari pledged to execute her new
responsibility with total commitment, urging her colleagues to work in
unison towards a glorious destiny for Africa.
