ABUJA – PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday night explained that it had taken long time to reposition Nigeria because of the alleged long time waste of the former Peoples Democratic Party-led administration that held sway for 16 years.

This is as the wife of the President, Dr. Aisha Buhari has assured women and youths who formed the fulcrum of the campaign organisation that the second tenure of the Buhari’s government will not forget their efforts and that the President will address gap between rich and poor.

Speaking at a victory dinner organised by the Youth and Women Campaign Organisation at the Old Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa Abuja, Presidentu Buhari who vowed not to betray the confidence of Nigerians from the last elections, said that his victory was a sign that Nigerians were satisfied with the change that his government embarked upon.

He also said that his victory in the February 23 election was an expression of confidence in his promise of its consolidation as idealized by the next level campaign.

He frowned at the abuse that Nigeria went through during past governments and explained why it had to take long to reposition the country back to its due course.

He, however, promised to use the next four years to conclude what he had started.

In a statement by Suleiman Haruna, Director of Information to Dr. Aisha Buhari, the President also recognized the significant role women and youth played during the campaign and the election proper, promising to engage them more in his second tenure.

In her remarks, Wife of the President expressed happiness at the overwhelming confidence reposed on President Buhari by Nigerians, assuring them that he will use his second tenure to serve the interest of the masses, especially by addressing the huge gap between the rich and the poor in Nigeria.

She said, “I wish I can invite all the 15 million Nigerians that voted for Mr. President to this dinner, but no place can accommodate you all. So let me say thank you and assure you that you made the right choice.”

Today, Pre Wedding couple shoot has become almost a mandatory ritual for many couples. Couples scout for locations, and themes for their shoot and want to make it one of the most special events of their wedding. Some couples want to recreate the scene of their courtship days. So they take their photographer to their favourite places, places where they have been on dates with each other or proposed to each other. A handsome young man who is set to walk down the aisle with his beautiful fiancee was seen “possessing his possession” in style.

From all indications, the young man might not wait to drag his woman into the ‘other room’ to do justice to her body. Many have questioned the appropriateness of the pictures on the grounds of morality. Anyway, the pictures look good and they have been trending online.

In the words of Soumen Nath who is a wedding photographer, “A Pre-Wedding shoot captures the love-chemistry of a couple before the actual wedding. After the wedding, familiarity grows and the Love chemistry changes its colours. Obviously, the couple grows more intimate. However, before the wedding, they share a different chemistry. Its more lovey-dovey and they feel and savor each other’s touch and glances more, almost like teenagers. They are raring to explore each other and are very enthusiastic. A Pre-Wedding shoot captures those special feelings and emotions, which will soon be replaced by deeper intimacy and greater acquaintance.”
