By Idris Umar.
Aisha Buhari, wife of the president, has asked Nigerians to forgive the ruling administration if it hasn’t met their expectations after seven years.
Aisha spoke In an interview with BBC on Friday, said Nigerians placed high expectations on the current administration when it assumed office, adding that the government has done its best.
“The expectations on us were too high. People expected so much from us and maybe after seven years we have not done to their expectations,” she said in Pidgin English.
“Only God knows what is in somebody’s mind, as human beings, you can’t just say you are right or we have done what you should do. So, the government, the administration, they have really tried, they have done their best but maybe still not the best to others.

“I thank God for giving me the opportunity to be the First Lady of Nigeria and I think that position is such a priceless position. I pray to God to grant us good exiting and we will hand over to APC government again,” she said.
“I don’t have any political ambition because after that I am going to be the former First Lady of Nigeria, what else am I looking for?”
Also advised the next First Lady of Nigeria to be herself and not “allow anybody to mortgage their administration”.
“They have to listen to the people that voted for them, they must listen to people and she must be herself under any circumstance. She shouldn’t allow people to define her, she should try and define herself,” she added.
