The Convener of Bring Back Our
Girls Group, Aisha Yesufu, has criticized the federal government of Nigeria for
announcing public holiday to celebrate this year’s Eid-El-Maulud.
The BBOG convener described the
holiday as wasteful and an act of competitive religiousity
Aisha urged the Buhari
administration to focus on helping Nigerians than otherwise.
In her tweets, she wrote “Nigeria
and our need for wasteful holidays. Which one is public holiday for Maulud?
When did we start celebrating Maulud?
“When do we stop all this
“competitive religiosity” and focus on doing good for humanity?
“The first Maulud to be a public
holiday in Nigeria was declared for Monday, 9 March 2009 by Godwin Abbe, then
minister of interior under Yar’Adua’s administration.”
