Stop insinuating and alleging when you have no evidence.

In the past when there was budget for Office of the First Lady we knew about it and not that we relied on conjectures.

Aisha said it during campaigns and interviews she would engage in some pet projects to be funded by NGO's and some other corporate bodies. Do you really think it will be difficult for her to get NGOs and some companies to fund her projects?

Why must she insist on accepting a title her husband vehemently opposed to exist?

The problems with some Nigerians is that they're so used to abnormalities such that any attempt at correcting them is seen as "hypocrisy" or "pretending". This is what you've displayed here.

MizMyColi:


Nne, why are we saying the same things using different words?

We must be fraternal twins

MizMyColi:


Since you raise the issue of constitution, if I may ask...
On what Constitutional Ground does she have a right to use any office she pleases to? What right does she have to even have an office?
Who is she?

Does our constitution recognise her as " wife of the president?
As far as the constitution is concerned, me and Aisha are on the same level.
It means I have a right to go into Aso Rock and choose the treasury as my working space.

You say there is no "office" of the first lady, yet you're using her office

Such Irony...

PassingShot:


Wow! Job of which First Lady? To me, what you call First Lady is Wife of the President here with the difference being that the former is seen as official title even though it's officially wrong while the later is not an official title and not seen as such.

And why can't she have pet projects as the wife of the president? My wife (a nobody by Nigeria's politics) has some "pet projects" (charity) she does.

Again, the difference here is that while such office was funded by our budget in the past, her works will no longer be funded by our budget but her sponsors.

cococandy:


Her sponsors

Lmao. Gosh you're not that gullible. You can't be.

MizMyColi:


What are you saying?
Was Turai not christened "first lady"?

Did she not hold the forte while her husband was away?

The chair PEJ sat on was used by Turai and Stella (of blessed memory), why should Aisha sit there when she has no intention of functioning in their capacity?

PassingShot:

Don't tell me you can't differentiate between the "official" title of "First Lady" which the president promised not to allow to function such that Nigeria money is used to fund it AND Aisha operating her pet projects as the wife of the president from same office Mama Piss used.

Aisha has said it severally that she will have pet projects to be funded by NGO's and other corporate bodies. Do you then expect her to come use your office or house?


This is the crux of the matter. A situation where Pepe practically became the president while Jona was made redundant and helpless was what Nigeria condemned. After all, she was not the first person to be called "First Lady".

PassingShot:

You're trying too hard to see something wrong in Aisha occupying the office but you're not answering the key questions.
1. Is the office of First Lady constitutional in our democracy? NO.

2. Should such office be funded through our budget. NO

3. Has Aisha assumed or been addressed as "First Lady"? NO

4. Does she have a right to engage in certain pet projects dear to her heart as the wife of the president? YES

5. Should such projects be funded through our budget? NO

6. Does she have a right as the president's wife to use any office within the Aso Rock Villa for her work? YES.

So, what is/are your issue(s), Miz?

cococandy:

Abnormality? Office of the First Lady?

What's abnormal is hypocrite goody two shoes. We know they used patience to campaign. Nigerians of course like passive women. So patience being the assertive type rubbed many people off the wrong way. He keyed in on that and bought some votes by promising to dissolve the office of the First Lady.
Who's the husband to dissolve the role of a First Lady anyway. Tomorrow he will say he doesn't want to be called president but the leader of the country because he just feels like. Like he's the one that laid the foundations of all offices when the county was founded and can dissolve anyone he wishes when it suits him. Tomorrow the next wife of the president will chose a different name for herself and that's how all of them will continue until it's totally trivialized.

It's Look inwards and correct yourself not me.

ShowYourCertificate:
Is the Office of The Wife of the President recognised in our constitution? Now that's the question.

PassingShot:

She as the president's wife has a right to use any office for her work. The constitution doesn't have to address petty issues as that. Not the same as having projects done through that office budgeted for.


This is too low for you to ask. Going by your reasoning, she is even an illegal occupant in Aso Rock.
This is another example of you TRYING JUST TOO HARD to justify an untenable position.

First Lady office/title was made to be seen as official, hence there was budget for it. And by clearly saying her projects will be funded by NGOs and corporate bodies has lessen the need to see that office as an official position.

PassingShot:

Please what is funny in saying "her sponsors"? I expected you to understand I meant sponsors of her projects.

A woman place is no longer in the kitchen.She can't operate from the kitchen/bedroom.That PMB cancelled the office of the first lady doesn't mean she shouldn't go there.

Rilwayne001:



Take it easy bro. Buhari is the C-in-C and he will continue to be for the next 8 years. Your wailing won't Change anything.

alexlee50:
my guy, why una dey reason like this sef? She is the wife of the president and the duty of the wife of the president is to her husband at home.she is not married to nigerians but PMB.Any attempt to revive the office of first lady either by changing it's name to wife of the president falls contrary to the stand of PMB during electoneering campaign and therefore a fraud.

socialmediaman:


Did you read the part where the newspaper said that Aisha has officially dropped the title? It means also that office is no longer an office of the first day, it's now a guest house for the wife of the president, probably. That she uses same building PEJ used doesn't make her officially recognized anymore

MizMyColi:


If truly, Mr Buhari despises the office of the first lady, and so does his wife, then they should not be seen holding on to any relic or vestiges from the supposedly abandoned office of the first lady.

PassingShot:

As I've explained, there is no office of the wife of the president. She is simply to be addressed as the wife of the president which she is by being married to the president.

And as far as we do not provide for her pet projects in our constitution as was done during GEJ, no biggie.

PassingShot:

No need to go back and forth. The huge difference here is that there won't be provision for her projects from Nigeria's budget.
Whatever else you hold on to is your right.
