Nigeria’s first lady, Aisha Buhari, has challenged Nigerian men to rise up and challenge two people she said are hindering the progress of president Buhari’s administration.
This will not be the first time Aisha is going public with those she believes are hindering the progress of her husband’s government.
The first lady made the comment at a national women leadership summit organised by Project 4+4, a support group for Buhari & Osinbajo 2019.
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).”
