Nigeria's first lady, Aisha Buhari on Thursday reaffirmed support for her husband weeks after criticizing his administration in a BBC interview.

The first lady said she was relieved that the administration had started to fulfill some of the promises the president made during the electioneering campaigns.

Aisha said this when she paid a visit to Benisheik, one of the liberated towns of Borno State, to flag off the distribution of relief items to displaced rural women. She made the gesture under the Get Involved initiative, a sub-component of her pet project, Future Assured.

“On our campaign promises to Nigerians, especially to the people of Borno State, we thank Almighty Allah for giving us the opportunity of beginning to fulfill these promises," she said.

“That is the essence of being a good leader; when you promise, you try to fulfill your promises.

“That is what we are all after. And what I am after in particular is the success of my husband’s administration. And we can’t do it alone, except with the help of the governors, their wives and members of our progressive party and all Nigerians.”
