While some Nigerians have continued to slam Mrs
Aisha Buhari, the wife of the president, others are supporting her
– The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has also
declared its readiness to register Aisha
and give her a membership card
Mrs Aisha Buhari, the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, has been offered an opportunity to join the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after she lampooned the government of her husband as being hijacked by a cabal.
However, the PDP, through its former deputy national
publicity secretary, Alhaji Abdullahi Jalo, said, in a report by the Telegraph,
that it was ready to register the wife of the president and give her a
membership card.
The report further quoted Jalo as comparing Buhari with America’s Donald Trump over the Nigerian leader’s reaction to his wife’s interview.
Buhari had said his wife belongs to the kitchen among others.
“Buhari is becoming like a Trump of America whose
past time is to scandalise women. That statement is very costly. “We are
advocating that (Mrs Hilary) Clinton should be elected to be the first woman to
rule America and you are saying that you are turning your wife to be a house
maid who has the right (only) to be in your kitchen and in your room. “That is
a costly statement, which will affect his electioneering campaign in 2019 if he
decides to contest. The implication is that he doesn’t like women. “He is
saying that women should not have right to be politicians,” Jalo said, adding
that Aisha has now assumed the role of the opposition. He said if Buhari claims
he does not know the party Aisha belongs, then the PDP was ready to give her a
membership card.
