They also described it as “ill-timed and counter-productive,” saying it was critical of President Muhammadu Buhari’s approach to governance.
At a press briefing in Yola on Thursday, the women through their spokesperson, Ms. Maryam Ibrahim, said that Aisha, who is a Fulani woman from Yola, did not exhibit the character expected of a Fulani woman who should respect the traditional “Pula’aku.”
The women said Aisha’s statement had created a negative impression of her status as the wife of the President and exposed both her husband and the entire family to mockery and disrespect before Nigerians and the world at large.
They added that her action was capable of encouraging Buhari’s enemies to “assault’ him.
The statement read in part: “It is also necessary to point out that Aisha Buhari’s media outburst has breached the norms and values of a decent house wife of a serving president.
“In fact, she has set a bad precedent, as no president’s wife in Nigeria has ever exposed her husband to this state of shame and ridicule.
“However, we would like to use this forum to reiterate our total support for and cooperation with President Muhammadu Buhari in his effort to restore the lost glory of Nigeria as the giant of Africa.”
The statement continued: “It is against this backdrop, that we collectively faulted Mrs. Aisha Buhari’s BBC interview because it is ill-timed, counter-productive and was done in bad taste.
“Consequently, Mrs. Aisha Buhari’s action negates the spirit of Pula’aku, modesty and decorum which are virtues of Fulani.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Marry before you comment on marriage issues. Maryam from your name you are single. So you lack the capabilities to comment on husband and wife issues. Abi you de campaign for PMB to add you to his wife No vacancy
ReplyDeleteYou judge from a myopic lense of ignorance. Your statement exposes you as a sexist and judgemental. You insinuate that since she adviced the wife of the president on modesty and decency and her name is Mayriam, then she is single and not qualified to give any advice on marital issues. You just exposed your ignorance to the whole world and should bury your head in shame.
DeleteMumu annon9:04pm get a lense her name is Ms Maryam Ibrahim. What does that stand for. Married or single. If you don't know asked
DeleteMaryam should shut up! She has no business interfering in the relationship between Aisha and Mohamadu! It appears she's just courting Mohamadu's attention fo whatever reason. Even her own going to press to criticize Aisha does not show Pula'Aku on her own part!!
DeleteSo the person who wrote this story is single?
ReplyDeleteBy being magnanimous enough to say her mind and expectations of many Nigerian electorates? Am not surprise cos in this part of the world, public figures hide the truth from the public and come out with well packaged lies. Public figure need nothing to hide for the public. This humble woman of virtue and value means well for her husband regime. Take it or leave it.
ReplyDeleteWhether single or married he said the true and tone frank if to say is my wife I swear to God is going to be the end of that relationship. I can't see any decency in her behavior.
ReplyDelete6:48pm. So Asha should have lied that all is well Abi. You very wrong
