#CountdownClosingCeremony | Aisha Buhari has got a new job

head-of-the-college-dr-kim-guillary-odunlami-govThat’s a photograph of Mrs Aisha Buhari with the head of the College Dr. Kim Guillary Odunlami, governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha and Ambassador Nonye Rajis-Okpara.
The wife of the President has just been appointed the grand patron of the Rochas Foundation College of Africa, the non-governmental humanitarian organisation that promises to provide the underprivileged with qualitative education.
As part of its vision, the foundation plans to have taken 1 million African children off the street by the year 2030. This is where Aisha Buhari comes in.
Her office is that of grand patron and her job description? Reaching out to wives of other African presidents to help nominate children to benefit from the initiative.
This is actually amazing news -what the Rochas foundation is doing and also the fact, the he wife of the President has been hand-picked as grand patron.
This makes today as good a day as we can get to close the Countdown. Nothing more unconnected to the BBC Hausa interview that led us to all this could have helped articulate our point better.
We started out with a premise – that Aisha Buhari is a woman with a mind of her own. And she proves this in a way not many others do – with a silent type of authority that can sometimes go unnoticed. Which is why a lot of people thought they could ‘defend’ her after her husband made comments that some insist was merely a failed attempt at humour.
But when has she ever needed defending?
We reminded you of her tiff with governor Ayo Fayose and the remarkable way she handled herself through the mess he insisted on making. So it made no sense that anyone would have thought this woman would apologise for speaking her mind.
We wanted to make sure that this time, no one will forget without remembering the role that Aisha plays so well without trying to hard to make a fuss of it.
Final Update: Sorry, not Sorry.
We hope we succeeded.
