Former First Lady, Her Excellency Aisha Buhari, has paid a courtesy visit to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

Atiku revealed details of the meeting on Wednesday through a post on his X handle, describing the reception as warm and deeply appreciated.

The former Vice President noted that beyond political courtesies, the engagement highlighted the urgent duty resting upon political leaders to prioritize the welfare and future of the Nigerian populace.

Today, I was delighted to receive former First Lady, H.E. Aisha Buhari. Her visit was warm and deeply appreciated, Atiku wrote.

Highlighting the economic challenges confronting the nation, he pointed out that households across Nigeria are experiencing severe economic pressure due to skyrocketing costs for essential items and services, including basic foodstuffs, transit, education, and medical care.

Beyond the courtesies of the occasion, it was also a reminder of the urgent responsibility before all who seek a better Nigeria: to put the welfare, dignity and future of our people first, he added.

Stressing the need for sustainable economic relief, Atiku stated that citizens deserve an economic structure that opens up opportunities and allows families to live with security and dignity.

Across our country, families are being stretched by the rising cost of food, transport, education, healthcare and other basic necessities. Nigerians deserve an economy that rewards hard work, restores opportunity and allows every family to live with dignity and hope, he noted.

He concluded that overcoming these national burdens demands collective effort to revive public confidence and rebuild economic stability.

That is the Nigeria we must build together, a country that works for its people again. We must ease the burden, restore hope and Make Nigeria Affordable Again, he stated.
