First Lady Aisha Buhari has tweeted a Hausa-language song appealing to her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, to end insecurity in the country.
A 22-second video of the song she tweeted with the hashtag #Achechijamaa on Saturday shows the president at different meetings with the nation’s service chiefs and the Inspector-General of Police.
Achechijamaa translates to “save the people”.
The short clip was excised from “Arewa na kuka” meaning “the north weeps” by Kannywood star Adam Zango, Premium Times reported.
The lyrics of the song say: “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”.
