Dignitaries who on Thursday attended the public presentation of a book written by the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha, deliberately refused to make their donations public. It was not clear whether their decision was based on the present administration’s anti-graft posture.

The proceeds from the presentation, the organisers said, would be sent to parents of the over 200 schoolgirls abducted from Chibok in April, 2014 and the parents of the boys abducted in Buni Yadi. The prominent Nigerians converged on the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, for the presentation of Mrs. Buhari’s book, “The Essentials of Beauty Therapy: A Complete Guide for Beauty Therapy.”
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo started the secret donation when he announced that Mrs. Buhari should not expect any big donation from him because he and the President were on half salaries.

He added that he would not be able to donate big money because “Buhari is very strict on money matters.”
“The President and I are on half salaries. The President is very strict on money issues. So, don’t expect me to make a large donation,” he said.
Osinbajo said the presentation of the book highlighted the importance of the girl-child education as he observed that if the wife of the President had not got the opportunity to go to school, she would not have been able to write the book and teach others.
He said, “Girl-child education is still an issue, girls not having the opportunity to go to school. If the wife of the President didn’t have the opportunity to go to school, she wouldn’t have had the opportunity to reach others.

“It emphasises the importance of education. Her desire to dedicate the proceeds of the presentation to the victims of insurgency and particularly the families of the Chibok girls is commendable.”
The national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who was the chairman of the occasion, also failed to announce his donation.
Tinubu, who was represented by his wife, Oluremi, however, commended Mrs. Buhari for her decision to invest the proceeds in charity.
On the importance of the book, the APC leader said Nigeria and Nigerians needed to begin to pay attention to beauty industry which he said was capable of generating income and employment.
He also stressed the need to set up beauty and therapy schools where interested persons would be properly trained.
The book presenter, Senator Daisy Danjuma, also failed to make her donation public.
She however commended Mrs. Buhari for writing the book.

The Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, who spoke on behalf of the 36 state governors, also followed the same line.
Although, he promised that state governors would make the books available to all the local government areas in the country, he did not announce how much they would pay.
Others who spoke but failed to announce their donations were the Executive Secretary of the National Board for Technical Education, Dr. Musa’udu Kazaure; the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, Prof. Abdusalami Nasidi; and the wife of Kebbi State Governor, Dr. Zainab Bagudu.

In her remarks, Mrs. Buhari said her decision to present the book now was to contribute to the support of victims of insurgency, particularly mothers and children as well as malnourished kids across the nation.
She urged members of the audience to buy the book to support the girl-child education.

Good

Kkkk.


Exploiting the leverage of your office as the wife of the President would still be viewed as corruption by some people.

Anyway, I unequivocally share from this viewpoint.

What is the book all about?
Was this book written just within this few months in office or...?

Buhari and his wife is really making good use of this rare opportunity they have to break barriers they never thought was possible in time past. PMB has been traveling all around the world like Ajala. He also used this period to receive honorary Doctorate decree but from a university which was not qualified to offer such... meaning that Buhari was scammed by his closest fulani brother, el rufai.

Una well done... Welcome to Nigeria a land of opportunity... Aisha Buhari does not want to take chances... SHE MUST MAKE ALL THE MONEY AND THE FAME THAT GOES WITH IT...

yeye people, keep on deceiving gullible nigerians, no be only half salary na quarter salary.

See deception 101

Scam govt

Thieves....

It's [size=15pt]LadyF[/size] again

The proceeds from the presentation, the organisers said, would be sent to parents of the over 200 schoolgirls abducted from Chibok in April, 2014 and the parents of the boys abducted in Buni Yadi.

I really hope that excerpt is true...

What a smart way to avoid probes from the book launch and the donations received.

Apc and deception..

Fear of EFCC

Bloody thieves .....

I beg se you no read that paragraph wey dem talk sey the money na for chibok girls parents? Also for the family of the boys wey dem kidnap.

I had to write it in pidgin so you can understand better. Maybe you couldn't comprehend the English in the post.

The book will help them because that's why people are donating. And the donors are helping them because they are donating. It's as simple as that.

Mikehell:
1.who she help?
2.who her book go help?
3.who d donation go help?
4.who the donors sef don help? *long hiss*

M

lol half salary kor...

I blame GEJ

I never thought it will be sycophants everywhere you go. Making small donations isn't a problem. Deciding not to make it known is equally welcomed but telling me you are on half salary already made all u Did and said a mere public stunt but then public stunt is allowed only if it is filled wit truth not riddled wit lies.. #showyourpayslip

Hummmm.... EFCC

which kind nonsensical nonsense be this? wetin dem dey launch then.

The book is not politics related but her line of business which is beauty.

I would have preferred she invited people in the industry she is targeting rather than the serving politicians that graced the occassion.

Thief. later they will say they are fighting kwarupshan!! transparency is the first step in fighting corruption. if not you just fooling yourself.

1.who she help?
2.who her book go help?
3.who d donation go help?
4.who the donors sef don help? *long hiss*

At least we have gained ground in terms of the reckless bragadocio of the rich calling money that annoys the ordinary people. Decency is returning to base. Give 20 billion if you like but don't announce it to offend me. Hear nothing vex over nothing.

We just get to hear more and more annoying news everyday. Smh

When will Nigerian learn to appreciate a kind gesture from a reknowned citizens of this great nation?this book is an eye opener to our ladies and girls who have been illegally captured by Boko Haram and I believe Buhari wife is using this medium to encourage the poor mothers and to cheer them up

state governors would make the books available to all the local government areas in the country,

Is this a joke?

Amazing
