The Presidency has said that President Muhammadu Buhari comment to journalists about his wife 'belonging to the kitchen ... and the other room' was only a 'banter'.
Earlier on the president while fielding questions from journalists in Germany about his wife, Aisha Buhari's controversial BBC's interview
said that “I don’t know which party my wife belongs to, but she belongs to my kitchen and my living room and the other room.”
The Presidency spokesman, Garba Shehu in an effort to clarify the president comment which has long gone viral said that "He was obviously throwing a banter."
Garba in a series of tweets said "My friends, can't a leader get a sense humour anymore? Mr. President laughed before that statement was made.
Politics sometimes should be spiced with humour.
Those of us close to him knows there is never a dull moment with him.
Mr. President respects the place of women in our society. He believes in the abilities of women.
One of Nigeria's most sensitive office today is headed by a woman, Mrs. Adeosun. This is an evidence of the confidence he reposes on women."

Buhari disgracing himself since time immemorial..

Medicine after death.

So he was elected to be making jokes? Cool.
We are not all as dumb as the zombies you know.

ipods with their noise over unserious issue. meanwhile aisha should stay on her lane, she belongs to pmb. pple should not be deceive

Face saving, truely even in Islam women belongs to the kitchen,

Mama mai kosai

This govt is nothing but a piece of joke

I have not seen what is worth elaborating on what Mrs Aisha Buhari said. She has said the right thing which is known to wailers and nonwailers. We are aware that In all administrations, there are always cabals. When I went through the interview, I saw that she said nothing worth criticising but appreciating. Dame Patience will never speak Like that. Her husband is surrounded by people who have not, people's interests in mind but selfish interest. She is closer to her husband and is aware of what her husband is facing.

Nigerians, aren't we to leave the era of looking for faults and face reality. Will Patience stop campaigning for her husband despite Jonathan's administrative failure? She speaks for the people. She is a woman. She knows how people live. She is patriotic. She feels like people are not allowing her husband to function well. She is troubled. She is avoiding cases of Patience. She is passionate about us. She cares. And are some people blaming her? Wailing for what is not worth it? Mrs Aisha Buhari, the woman behind the successful Buhari.

More greese to your elbow. Mr President, I am sure he knows what he meant by she belongs to his kitchen. It means, what he wanna do, Aisha isn't aware. At last, she will say, wow! My husband really knows what to do..

As long as he is in the right path, I stand with Buhari!

What are they trying to cover...that he did'nt made the statement or that he was cracking joke with lie mohamed when the statement was made?
