“I come in as a mother who bleeds,” I say. This is the last time I’ll need to go to the state for something like this, I can assure you of that. And I apologise for doing this.
Do not allow the serpent to attack you on the edge. Fix the exposed edge. That is sufficient. Nigeria is a stunning nation. Welcome to the land of peace and tourism, said the young woman who had welcomed me at the airport. She was quoted as saying, “I pray this will be the case.”
In addition to food and clothing, the First Lady of Nigeria donated N1 billion to the victims of the state’s clashes on behalf of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).
The President’s wife urged the men to do everything possible to protect their wives and children and allow them to continue working, including farming.
Bring peace to this land, she continued.
She urged the youth to embrace tolerance and national cohesion.

“I appoint a force to stop.” No elite will steal it, he said in the statement that he was quoted as saying. We will give it to those for whom it is intended.
