Wife of the Vice President, Hajia Amina Sambo,on Saturdayin Abuja,
said she would go back to the classroom to acquire more knowledge
after the expiration of her husband's tenure onMay 29.
She also advised Nigerians to pray for the incoming administration of
President-elect Muhammadu Buhari.
According to her, she will continue to remain accessible, even though
she did not disclose which institution or course of study she intends
to pursue.
Hajia Sambo, a graduate of Political Science from the Bayero
University, Kano, spoke at a ceremony organised in her honour by the
Coalition of Nigerian Muslim Women at the National Mosque, Abuja.
The CMWIN said they were honoring Hajia Amina and the wife of the
Federal Capital Territory Minister, Hajia Aisha Mohammed, for their
strive towards uplifting humanity.
The group also hailed them for being pious and not allowing the
demands of office to sway them from the right path.
She said there could be times in future when the demand of her
academic engagements would not allow her to honour invitations to
public engagements.
"I will like to continue to leave my doors open in case you will call
on me. In case I say I am having exams (I am going back to school);
so, do not be offended, I might be studying, but be assured that I
will always be with you," Hajia Sambo stated.
She added that all was now set for the inauguration of the first
Islamic Library in Nigeria, which is located in Kaduna State, urging
the women to strive to donate a book each to the facility.
She commended the Muslims for their support for the current
administration, and called on them to extend the same hand of
fellowship to the incoming administration of Buhari.
The vice president's wife however begged the women to forgive any real
or imagined shortcomings of the outgoing administration, assuring them
of her continued support even as a private citizen.
"I want to assure you that on my part, in my own little way, I will
continue to be of service to humanity. I will continue to help the
less-privileged in the society, the downtrodden, the physically
challenged, and most importantly, to myDeen. Please, always pray for
the incoming administration," she said.
