My attention is drawn to a viral publication making the round especially on social media maliciously engineered by some online media attempting to denigrate the good intention and laudable efforts of Her Excellency the First Lady of Bauchi State, founder of Al-Muhibbah Foundation Dr. Aisha Bala Muhammad at bringing dividends of democracy to our people. For some of us that know, relate and support the efforts of H.E her gesture is contextually misrepresented ostensibly to damage her reputation and discourage her from this noble endeavour which has brought and continue to sustain monumental support and good will to the government of His Excellency Sen. Bala Muhammad, Executive Governor of Bauchi State. For the avoidance of doubt this outing at Futuk, a community in Alkaleri LGA followed series of intervention projects by H.E targeted at women and youth empowerment. It marked a formal commissioning of skill acquisition center, distribution of business starter packs, medical consumables, sewing, blending & knitting machines, money and clothing materials. But for the want of libelous publicity Sahara Reporters and its undertakers chose the wild goose chase of roping this generous act by brandishing falsehood just to justify a pay cheque. In their desperate mode they contextualised backend footages to give semblance of reality to fictitious and libelous publication.
It is imperative to state that H.E chose the path of honor by staying clear of meddling in the affairs of state since the beginning of this administration, this been the character and trajectory of most First Ladies in Nigeria. She is satisfied by staying humbly within the confines and means of her Foundation Al-Muhibbah formed in the year 2010 with legal and juristic status.
With good intention and modest budget H.E put smiles to thousands of households , empowered women and cater for hundreds of orphans and vulnerable members of our society. This has earned her personality her Foundation public trust within and outside Nigeria. Her intervention at the outbreak of covid 19 was unprecedented. But for the covid 19 outbreak H.E was scheduled for a Proclamation of Honor by Members of the Congress in the United States of America at the botched UN Women Conference in recognition of her humanitarian services in Nigeria. Very recently His Royal Highness the Emir of Bauchi Dr.
Sulaiman Adamu found H.E worthy of turbaning as Sarauniyar Bauchi for her sheer acts of philanthropy. For her untiring leadership and vision her foundation Al-Muhibbah is today accredited amongst only three others as Entrepreneurs Development Institution (EDI) by NIRSAL Microfinance Bank to deliver business content, skills and credit opportunities to the citizens of Bauchi State. While we remain conscious of our responsibilities as emerging leaders we shall continue to identify with, promote and defend the good works and manifestations of Her Excellency and good people. In this regard i wish to urge the reading public to disregard the malicious content peddled in the mainstream and social media targeted at misrepresenting the good work of her Foundation.
