The senior special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu has said that his boss was just joking when he referred to his wife, Aisha as belonging to his kitchen and other room.
In a tweet today, Garba Shehu: “my friend, can’t leader get a sense of humour anymore? Mr. President laughed before that statement was made. He was obviously throwing banter”
The spokesman said that politics sometimes, should be spiced with humour, adding: “those of us close to him (President Buhari), know there is never a dull moment with him. Mr. President respects the place of women in our society. He believes in the abilities of women.
“One of Nigeria’s most sensitive offices today is headed by a woman, Mrs. Adeosun. This is an evidence of the confidence he reposes on women.” [myad]
