Wife of the Vice President, Hajia
Amina Sambo, on Saturday in Abuja,
said she would go back to the
classroom to acquire more
knowledge after the expiration of
her husband’s tenure on May 29.
She also advised Nigerians to pray
for the incoming administration
of President-elect Muhammadu
Buhari.
According to her, she will continue
to remain accessible, even though
she did not disclose which
institution or course of study she
intends to pursue.
Hajia Sambo, a graduate of Political
Science from the Bayero University,
Kano, spoke at a ceremony
organised in her honour by the
Coalition of Nigerian Muslim
Women at the National Mosque,
Abuja.
The CMWIN said they were
honoring Hajia Amina and the wife
of the Federal Capital Territory
Minister, Hajia Aisha Mohammed, for
their strive towards uplifting
humanity.
The group also hailed them for
being pious and not allowing the
demands of office to sway them
from the right path.
She said there could be times in
future when the demand of her
academic engagements would not
allow her to honour invitations to
public engagements.
“I will like to continue to leave my
doors open in case you will call on
me. In case I say I am having exams
(I am going back to school); so, do
not be offended, I might be
studying, but be assured that I will
always be with you,” Hajia Sambo
stated.
She added that all was now set for
the inauguration of the first Islamic
Library in Nigeria, which is located
in Kaduna State, urging the women
to strive to donate a book each to
the facility.
She commended the Muslims for
their support for the current
administration, and called on them
to extend the same hand of
fellowship to the incoming
administration of Buhari.
The vice president’s wife however
begged the women to forgive any
real or imagined shortcomings of
the outgoing administration,
assuring them of her continued
support even as a private citizen.
“I want to assure you that on my
part, in my own little way, I will
continue to be of service to
humanity. I will continue to help
the less-privileged in the society,
the downtrodden, the physically
challenged, and most importantly,
to my Deen. Please, always pray for
the incoming administration,” she
said.
