Aisha Buhari, wife of President
Muhammadu Buhari, has challenged Nigerian men to stand up to the two people who
are allegedly hindering the progress of her husband’s administration.
The president’s wife said this at
a national women leadership summit organised by Project 4+4 for Buhari &
Osinbajo 2019, a political group.
Although she did not mention the
names of the two persons, she said they have dominated a government which
emerged through the votes of over 15 million people.
“Our votes were 15.4 million in
the last elections and after that only for us to be dominated by two people…
this is totally unacceptable,” she said.
“If 15.4 million people can bring
in a government and only for the government to be dominated by two people or
three people, where are the men of Nigeria? Where are the Nigerian men? What
are you doing? Instead of them to come together and fight them, they keep
visiting them one after the other licking their shoes (I’m sorry to used those
words).”
This is not the first time that
the president’s wife would hit some allies of her husband.
In an interview with BBC Hausa
two years ago, Aisha said Buhari’s government had been hijacked by only a “few
people”.
Her words: “The president does
not know 45 out of 50 of the people he appointed and I don’t know them either,
despite being his wife of 27 years… some people are sitting down in their homes
folding their arms only for them to be called to come and head an agency or a
ministerial position.”

Madam, be reminded that you were the first person to reject your husband's bid for re-election. Who are these two men that you are talking about? You've been told what to say, that's why you're out there saying what you don't believe in. Why don't you want to be consistent?
