The intervention follows last week's events during which the Party’s Senators voted against a motion calling on the Presidency to pay the allowance.

In a statement in Abuja on Tuesday, the First Lady described the APC as a party of integrity that had assured Nigerians during the campaign it would pay the allowance to 25 million of the most vulnerable citizens.

Mrs. Buhari urged Nigerians to be patient with the APC government, as the change they had been yearning for has arrived.
