Aisha, wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, has come under
intense criticism on social media after she shared a post to commemorate this
year’s ‘International Day of the African child’.
On Tuesday, the first lady took to her Twitter page to
celebrate the annual event with a video in which some Nigerian children of
different demographics can be seen speaking against violence, molestation and
rape.
She also enjoined Nigerians to help create a world where
children can grow to their full potential.
As we commemorate the International day of the African Child, We want a world where children can grow to their full potential, we want you to be part of that world and we want a secure and just future for our children.#InternationalDayOfTheAfricanChild pic.twitter.com/nlorz8aYEA— Aisha M. Buhari (@aishambuhari) June 16, 2020
The post instantly stirred the hornets’ nest on the
microblo
gging platform as users took to her mention to register their
displeasure.
“Do something about all the Almajiri children roaming the
streets in northern Nigeria,” a Twitter user said.
“Future Impossible Tenses. Madam First Lady, what have you
actually done to ensure that the African Child can grow to their full
potential? How exactly have you been securing a just future? Tell us what
you’re doing, not what you want to do!#InternationalDayofTheAfricanChild,”
another user said.
Here is what some Nigerians had to say:

Awesome statement.Can you be so kind to tell Bubu that the ways he's handling Nigeria, most children cannot grow to their full potentials. He must focus on primary health care and security. The ways people including children are dying in the hands of bandits is sad. #WeAreTired— Augustine Okonji (@kongees) June 16, 2020
@aishambuhari Ma, we have heard that for a very long that children are the leaders of tomorrow, but this children keep growing and they go to school, get their degree but no job, no future.— Favour Iritobor (@FavourIritobor) June 16, 2020
You are projecting a good vision here, but it can't be achieved by ur husband nor his elites.— Nsikanabasi Brown (@NsikanabasiBro1) June 16, 2020
This administration under the leadership of your husband isn't creating the enabling environment for the children to grow to that full potential you want them to attain. Until something is done to stop these brutal killings, children will continue to suffer.— Musa Muhammad Dambatta (@M_Dambatta) June 16, 2020

What can you say about northern, a hundreds of people were killed by bandicts and boko Haram. If you can recall in 2015 your husband promised us that he will saves our lives and our properties. This is rational behind voting him as a president.— CATALYST (@Ibrahim44818904) June 16, 2020
