WIFE of All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Hajia Aisha Buhari, has said politicians have used religion as a cover to deceive people and loot the country.

Haji Buhari, who addressed a women rally organised by Edo State chapter of APC at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin, described her husband as a leader, who is committed to ensure the country is sanitised.

She also denounced what she described as a high rate of girl-child trafficking in Edo State, attributing the problem partly to what she called “unemployment factor.”

“Insecurity, girl-child trafficking, suffering of widows in the South-East would become history when Buhari becomes president,” Mrs Buhari assured.

She, therefore, urged the women to collect their permanent voter cards (PVCs) and not to sell them, as she called on them to vote for APC and secure their freedom.

In his speech, Governor Adams Oshiomhole said the problem of Nigeria was not Christian or Muslim, but who will fear God and provide basic necessities of life.

“We need Buhari, a man of honour, a man of courage,” Oshiomhole said, adding that “if you are happy with the way our country is, vote for continuity, if you are not, vote for change.”
