According to Garba Shehu, the presidents comment is obviously a joke and I think we should leave it at that. Aisha Buhari's comment however is not a joke. She spoke bravely and I commend her.

Beyond the joke, the president should treat the concerns raised by the first lady with utmost importance. The bad blood in his party and immediate family should be addressed as soon as possible and not allow to fester too long.

Aisha didn't insult her husband na, she only stated her fears.. which one is where does she belong? you want her to be in GEJ's bed in otueke or where exactly?

@OP you better calm down, GEJ is gone, a Northerner will run for PDP in 2019 with a possible SW (king makers) VP to win hearts of d yorubas.. They know SS & SE won't have option than to vote out of hate they have for APC and Buhari

Take things easy, for all we know the President might be joking, a sane man won't say that in all seriousness in front of a "female" like his wife.

freeze001:


He was dead serious and has passed his message to his wife and yes, he ticks all the boxes for insanity.

flokii:


then you should be worried.. means ya'll are in deep shi.t

freeze001:


How unfortunate. You do endorse his insanity, can't tell for sure you're all together urself.

I read the full interview of the first lady and I can't recollect where she demanded that the president should share power with her. She raised three major issues in her interview.


1, Some people who don't share the vision of APC and who were not around during the campaign have hijacked the presidency against the overall interest of the party members that shared the party's vision and worked tirelessly for the success of the party in the last presidential election. This is a legitimate concern that the president need to address.

2, Over 15million people voted for the president and they seems not to be happy with the direction of the government. She feared that these huge number of people may revolt against her husband if the government doesn't find a way to change the current economic challenges. Another legitimate concern if you ask me.

3, She won't campaign for the president in 2019 if he refused to address the two legitimate concerns above. This goes to show that the first lady is a very principled lady who knows when to drop emotions and be pragmatic when necessary. I really appreciate her bravery.

Your epistle here ignores the major criticism behind the president's comment.
His statement relegates women to the background, to being mere professional maids with an office location of the kitchen.

That is totally unacceptable. I understand you trying to creating a correlation with politics, which I admit you did quite nicely, but let's not deviate from the point here. The president owes all Nigerian women an apology.

Also, you mentioned having a cabal isn't our business,
I beg to differ with you again. Nigerians voted in Mr. Buhari and not Daura or Kyari, so it is of utmost importance to Nigerians if that mandate has been stolen.

TonyeBarcanista:

This is the in house power play I referred to. it is not the business of Nigerians, and the Government belongs to BUHARI not Aisha or those that feels they "worked". There is nothing legitimate here.


She nevee really cared about the masses but kept wailing about the kitchen cabinet. Again, it is but power play.


She Is neither the Women leader of APC nor Minister of Women Affair. Beside, which structure does Aisha have to influence votes? Who she epp?


BTW: Buari will lose irrespective in 2019

Penaldo:

You and your controversial position.

Joke as in how? The verbal version of the comics he's fond of reading? I wonder why APC operatives answer supporters never think things through! In this time where there is heightened sensitivity about the role of women and equality of the sees that is when the mightily daft n dull president, standing beside a world leader who happens to be female, decides to make a tasteless, sexist statement about where she belongs and they call it a joke!

Do u guys realise the implications on our image worldwide? Did he even need to address his wife's interview via the press? What happened to a private conversation whether via telephone or face to face? What do u mean by saying that Garba says it's a joke and it should be left that way? That Nigerians are not allowed to have independent thoughts and opinions or he's the only one qualified to interprete the President's spoken words? Jokers!

TonyeBarcanista:

Why won't the country be in chaos when we have a President that joke with over every subject.

BTW don't mind the spin of APCists, twas never a joke.

freeze001:


Of course he wasn't joking. He's a man that doesn't take criticism and cannot stand being crossed how much more from a wife who's expected to be a subservient 2nd class citizen as far as islam is concerned and knowing the religious bigot that he is.

greatiyk4u:
Aisha stated that she won't campaign for hers husband if he should seek reelection in 2019 but I know that whether she campaigns or not, her husband will leave Aso Rock in 2019 because he has failed Nigerians. No going back."




This is the kind statements u guys use in wishing PDP failure...... Just like Edo is PDP

There is something funny about Mr President, he is fond of making ridiculous remarks and demarketing Nigeria through international Press.

I see nothing wrong including buhari's comment, he paid her dowry and not us, he is a Muslim and a core northerner, gender equality doesn't exist in their dictionary. All those crying foul especially women are just bunch of hypocrites. .
