PR Expert Faults Buhari’s Refusal To Shake Hand With Female Ministers - Vanguard by karleone(op): 9:37am On Nov 15, 2015

The Chief Executive Officer, NECCI Limited, a public
relations firm, Mrs. Nkechi Ali-Balogun, has frowned at
President Muhammadu Buhari’s refusal to shake hands
with his female ministers after their swearing-in.
She said: “It is unethical in public relations because it
portrayed the female ministers as inferior in eyes of the general public.

“If Hillary Clinton (US presidential hopeful and former Secretary of State) is to visit Nigeria today, will our President refuse to shake hands with her in the name of religion? “If you are working for the President, you must be able to advise him in such a way that he will know that your advice is due to the office you holding which you must do with boldness in such a way that the President will earn the respect of the public.

“An expert in public relations should have told him that it is unethical even before the congratulatory hand shake which he gave to the male ministers. A public relations person must not be scared to tell him what will boost the President image and acceptability to the public”.

Cry to high heaven, the president doesn't care. He is the "always right" in his own eyes and in the eyes of his zombies. Everybody will soon start wailing. Fuel in my area is already N200 per litre in his just six months in power.

That thought did cross my mind but I felt a need to fact-check, first, before drawing any hard and fast conclusions.

***EDITED for completeness

I am not sure about Kemi Adesosun (that light-weight minister, who seems as incorruptible as Stella Oduah tongue

) but the others are clearly muslims.

TheNewsDotNG:
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari swore 36 ministers into his cabinet on Wednesday, ending a five-month wait for Africa’s most populous nation. And it seems that the former military ruler has embraced democratic tenets that will give room for female participation in his government.

Kemi Adeosun, the Minister of Finance

One of the first surprise appointment was that of the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun. Though she was the commissioner of finance in south-western Ogun State, many believed she lacks the experience to handle the finance portfolio of Africa’s biggest economy. She is one of the youngest ministers in the cabinet.

Aisha is daughter of former permanent secretary and Finance Minister Alhaji Abubakar Alhaji and current Sardauna of Sokoto.

It's because most of the female ministers are Muslim. Simple.

Of the 6 female ministers, 5 are from the North.

There is nothing wrong with Buhari shaking women, but as married muslim women it's an issue to shake hands with another man.

President Buhari was simply observing this fact.

All those leaders you mentioned shake hands with female/male foreign reps.
Only hypocrites have a problem with that.

Even Saudi Arabia's leader shakes hands with Hilary
when she was the secretary of state.

There is no point seeking a position that you know will compromise
your faith.
Steer clear of government if you do not believe in the equality of
Nigerians regardless of their gender.
