Wife of the President, Dr Mrs Aisha Muhammadu Buhari, has advised the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) to consider only card-carrying members for political appointments.
According to a statement by her media aide, Suleiman Haruna, she made the call at a dinner to celebrate the victory of the president at Daura, his hometown on Thursday, March 7th, 2019.
The event, which took place at the Daura Stadium, attracted women and youth supporters of the APC from across Katsina State.
Mrs Buhari noted that the constitution of the party specifies that appointments to offices in an APC-led government should go to card-carrying members; she, therefore, advised that the party constitution should be respected.
She expressed appreciation over the support that the party enjoyed in the last presidential election, especially from women and youth and assured them that government would do more to improve their lives.
