Wife of Edo State Governor, Mrs Betsy Obaseki, has been
elected the President of Southern Governors’ Wives Forum to provide
leadership to the forum in supporting their spouses' mandate to deliver
the dividends of democracy to the people.
The election was held during a meeting attended by the
wives of the 36 state Governors, held at the First Lady Conference Hall
in Abuja, where Niger State Governor’s wife, Dr Amina Sani Bello,
emerged as President of Northern Governors’ Wives Forum.
In her acceptance speech at the dinner, the First Lady of
Edo State, Mrs Betsy Obaseki, expressed appreciation to the Wives of the
Southern Governors for the confidence reposed in her to lead them and
pledged to move the Forum to greater heights.
She commended Nigeria's First Lady, Aisha Buhari for her
visionary leadership and for galvanising the wives of the 36 state
governors towards impacting their states in a positive manner in the
past four years.
In her address to wives of the Governors, Mrs Buhari
expressed appreciation to the women for building confidence and
restoring hope to their fellow women, noting, “In the last four years,
many of you have positively impacted lives of your people in your states
and even beyond. Specifically, you have touched lives, your hands have
healed the sick and transformed the faces of sadness into faces of
smiles.”
“Beyond being wives of Governors who have a public mandate
with the duty to support, we must also be committed to championing the
cause of the vulnerable in our society. For these, you will be
remembered and judged positively by posterity and history,” Mrs Buhari
added.
