THREE INFLUENTIAL NIGERIAN MEN ‘CAGED’ MY HUSBAND, BUHARI’S WIFE CRIES OUT
The President’s wife, pointed out that, over 15 million Nigerians voted for her husband in 2015, but ironically only two or three persons have since taken control of the government, but decided not to reveal identities of those men
Her words, “Our votes were over 15 million in the last election, and after that only for us to be dominated by two people that hinders collective team work that we started, which is totally unacceptable,”.
“If 15.4 million people can bring in a government, and only for the government to be dominated by two 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 kept visiting them one after the other, licking their shoes. I am sorry to use that word.”
Speaking further stated that it was unfortunate that people were only listing the achievements of the President in the fourth year of his government, when that should have been done in the first year.
She added, “as we did not buy votes, we formed a government, the government that has overthrown an incumbent government for the first time in the history of Nigeria. After that, what we are expecting is team work; we had a bit of team work, but it wasn’t full.
“All the achievements that have been listed; for the past one month, people have been singing the songs of achievements, we would have achieved that within one year of the administration, but it happens that we are dragging it up to the fourth year’.
“So we believe in team work and we believe in government of inclusiveness. People should not relent, they should continue to fight, continue to talk against the few that dominated the government,” she said.
Penpushing recalled that the first lady in similar development had in October 2016, told the British Broadcasting Corporation(BBC) that she may not back her husband’s reelection in 2019 except he shakes up his cabinet.
The worried woman said she has continued to complain about the two influential persons around her husband for the sake of the future generation, stating further that, the political space must be allowed for all to participate including those who left the country for greener pasture abroad.
“We should continue to say no because this is the future, not of my age; not of my husband’s age, but the future of our grand children. We are talking about better Nigeria, of brain drain, that all those who went out to other countries to work should come back and participate in this country,” she said.
