My U.S. Trip have nothing to do with Nigerian tax payers –By Aisha Buhari

Wife of Nigeria’s President, Aisha Buhari, has on Saturday, August 6, stated that she was on a week-long visit to the United States of America, USA, to hold discussions with aid organisations, on how to help the women and children facing starvation in the North Eastern part of Nigeria.

Mrs. Buhari, spoke in an interview with the Hausa service of the Voice of America, VOA.

Recall, that Mrs. Buhari, had arrived in Washington DC for some engagements on Wednesday, August 3, and was spotted with a 35 cm Porosus Crocodile bag, which is estimated to cost about $300,000.

Speaking she said; “Our children in the various camps are in dire situation, and the government alone cannot do it, we have to get help”.

Mrs. Buhari added that already, she had met with organisations known for promoting peace and provision of aids to displaced children.

She met with officials of the United States Institute for peace on Friday, and assured them that unlike what obtained in the past, any aid rendered to displaced persons would go to those who needed them.

She also said she told the officials that what was needed now was not even cash, because statistics had shown that children between the ages of five months and seven years were dying in large number due to hunger-related diseases.

She said the United Nations International Children Fund, UNICEF, had been providing aid packages containing nut-related supplements, which, she said, are produced in large quantities by Nigerian farmers.

Mrs. Buhari said she told the officials that there was need to set up a plant in Nigeria that could produce the package.
