Aisha Buhari

The First Lady of Nigeria, Mrs. Aisha Buhari has wondered why some of those who lost out in the last All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary electionsl have remained in traumatic situations.

The First Lady made the observation while recounting how devastating it was for her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, when he was defeated three different times at the nation’s presidential polls.

She spoke at the ground-breaking ceremony for the Armed Forces Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Centre, a project of the Mrs Lucky Irabor-led Defence and Police Officers’ Wives Association.

Aisha explained how she had tried to reach out to those who lost out at the primary polls but hit brick walls, adding that they had been living in traumatic condition and remained incommunicado.

She wondered why politicians who lost bids to clinch their political parties’ presidential tickets should render themselves almost inconsolable and even switch off their phones till date for people not to reach them.

“Failing election for three times was a big blow to every contestant but those that have contested for just yesterday, a simple primary election, they are still living in a traumatic condition. I tried to console them, I tried to talk to them, some of them have switched off their phones up till today, just because of a primary election,” she said.
