As #EndSARS protests linger in the country, the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha, on Saturday, called on her husband and the service chiefs to save the people from insecurity especially in the northern part of the country.
Disclosing this via her verified Twitter handle, the beauty therapist wrote: ‘#Achechijamaa’, which translates to ‘rescue the people’, alongside a video of her husband with the service chiefs.
This comes as nationwide protests over police brutality and insecurity continue to gain currency.
Mrs Buhari shared a short clip from the newly released single “Arewa na kuka” meaning “the north weeps” by Kannywood star Adam Zango on Saturday afternoon.
Along with the 22-second excerpt of the song, Mrs Buhari posted a short commentary to add her voice to the message on her verified Facebook page.
Using a hashtag, the president’s wife wrote in a corrosive Hausa “#AChechijamaa”, meaning rescue the people.
Mrs Buhari has been a critic of her husband’s administration, especially about what she sees as faults of the president’s lieutenants.
The video clip she shared shows Mr Buhari at different meetings with his security chiefs.
Part of the lyrics says: “In the name of God, pay attention/We seek your help/The North is weeping/ Our blood is being shed/Our people are being killed/Our property torched”.
Nigerians have, in the last 10 days, embarked on protests, calling on the Federal Government to disband the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, over abuse of office, maltreatment, extra-judicial killings and many other crimes attributed to the police unit.
The protest also trended on social media, drawing support from prominent individuals and groups across the globe.
