Okay this is
what
happened.
Uche Jumbo
reposted a
write up on
facebook
which talked
about how
Buhari’s wife
called Edo
women
prostitutes. She got blasted by some fans
for reposting the article and now she has
come out to say that she is not rooting for
any particular party but only a women’s
right activist. This is what she first posted;
Please NOTE this is not about APC / PDP or
who you are voting…..(file under what we
shouldn’t use to campaign as girl – child
trafficking is an advocacy I support and can
tell you it’s sensitive )this was sent to me
Concerned Nigerian gender activists have
called on the women of Edo State to forgive
the unguarded comments recently credited
to Mrs. Aisha Buhari, wife of the APC
Presidential Candidate, General
Muhammadu Buhari.
Mrs. Buhari had in a campaign rally for her
husband’s presidential bid in Edo State over
the weekend had described the women of
Edo State, as “prostitutes” claiming her
husband’s administration will stop the
prostitution by Edo women abroad.
In a swift response to Mrs. Buhari on
Monday in Benin, Sarah Obozuwa, Founder
of the Edo Women for Change (EWC) called
on Edo women to forgive Mrs. Buhari.
“Aisha Buhari was born on September 29,
1979. As of today, Mrs. Buhari is only 35
years of age. She was married to Buhari in
August 13, 1989, at the age of 9. This
means that Buhari at age 47, in 1989 was
having sex with Aisha Buhari at the tender
age of 9, an underage according to the
constitution of Nigeria. So Mrs. Buhari is a
victim of sustained childhood rape and her
outbursts are understandable”, she said.
Speaking further, Mrs. Obozuwa said: “How
Buhari got Aisha Buhari pregnant at age 13
is a chilling story of a Buhari who defiled
Aisha as a little child while she was visiting
Zulai, Buhari’s eldest daughter who was her
playmate. It is ironic how such a
traumatized woman now stands at the
vanguard of stigmatizing fellow women.”
Then this was her reply after some fans
bashed her;
As a supporter of all advocacy for women. …
be it domestic violence,child marriage,
women rights or what have you.i stay out
of politics but… i shared the last post when
I saw it and made my research… i repeat I
don’t care about APC or PDP …. have never
taken money from any political party
because I don’t EVER want to loose my right
to question people about their statements
and if the first lady made that statement I
will still post it as i don’t like using
stereotypical term in addressing ‘issues’ ….if
you insult me on my page I will simply block
you and not sweat it but it wouldn’t stop
me from sharing my thoughts and beliefs
or my love for A better Nigeria.you are free
to Google the speech.#UJR
