Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) retired General Muhammadu Buhari says he will not have an office for first lady if elected in next year’s election.

In an exclusive interview with Weekly Trust in Kaduna, Buhari said his decision was premised on the fact there is no office of first lady in the Nigerian constitution, just as there is no official role for presidents’ wives.

Rather, he said ministries which are constitutional should be allowed to play their roles.

“There is the Ministry of Women Affairs, and so on”, he said.
The APC flag bearer said women would however play very important roles in his administration.

“I was raised by my mother, as I lost my father when I was under six years, so I know what a woman can do if given the chance,”

he said, adding that he sees them as his cornerstone.
General Buhari also spoke on the situation in Chibok, Borno State, where over 200 schoolgirls were abducted by the terrorist group, Boko Haram and remain in their captivity.

“Imagine a mother with a teenage daughter there and for seven months and has no clue where she is”, he said, noting that women’s effort in looking after children, apart from the pain of childbirth, aggravates the pain of losing a child.

“Roughly one year in their tummy and from the time they are born until they clock six, children tend to assume they know everything, but it is women, their mothers, who are responsible for them. I have the greatest respect for women,” he said.

Nice one and a good move. Let his wife respond to the statement first.

Meanwhile if he likes let him not have SA's and Minister for States, GEJ will still do what he has always done to GMB over the years; which is WIN.

Amaechi has said that the APC APEpissing will form a parallel government should they lose. To Amaechi and his cabals that statement is treason and they should be prepared for the judiciary in some months to come.

GEJ till 2019 after which David Mark continues...

Flets:
Is it not funny

What is Buhari's plan for the economy? What is he going to differently in the agricultural, power, automobile sectors that thw current FG is not doing?
How does he plan to fight corruption... probe Tinubu, Amaechi, Atiku etc? How does he plan to sanitize the corrupt judiciary? Those are the campaign points


The office of the first lady is not Nigeria's problem
