Wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Muhammadu Buhari, said yesterday that she personally still prepares her husband’s food, their recent relocation to the Presidential Villa notwithstanding.
Official cooks mainly prepared the food of previous first families at the State House.
Mid way into a Sallah party she held yesterday at the seat of power for children, Mrs.Buhari sought her guests’ permission to leave to go and cook for President Muhammadu Buhari.
She said: “I’m going to leave you soon. I want to go back home to cook for my husband. Because my children are here playing with you, so nobody is at home, only my husband. So I want to go back home to be with him and also cook dinner for him.”
She urged them to continue to pray for other Nigerian children who are currently at Internally Displaced Persons (IDP)’ camps in parts of the North.
She also asked them to be good ambassadors of their parents at all times.
She said: “The future of this great country lies in your hands. You are to complement the efforts of government by working very hard in school and be obedient to your parents.
“Tomorrow, you may be the President, President’s wife, senators, honourable members, governors, medical doctors, teachers, journalists, engineers, nurses, lawyers and the rest of our honourable professions.”
The wife of the President asked parents to encourage and monitor their children.
While loud speakers rendered various songs to the delight of the children, giant screens were also mounted showing cartoons.
The children, who were given packed meals and drinks, also took part in fashion parade and dancing competition.
