members of the House of
Representatives, yesterday, threw their
weight behind wife of the President, Mrs
Aisha Buhari, for her bravery in speaking
out on the state of the All Progressives
Congress, APC-led administration in
Nigeria.
The lawmakers’ verdict was unanimous at
the weekend as they advised President
Muhammadu Buhari to listen to his wife’s
counsel and use it to better his
administration.
Chairman of the House Committee on
Legislative Budget, Timothy Golu, in his
reaction to the first lady’s interview with
BBC, said Mrs. Buhari was closer to her
husband than any other person and as
such, understood him better.
He said: “She’s drawing her husbands
attention to issues that sycophants
around him would not tell him. But she
has come out with the truth and is saying
it because she loves the husband.”
“She is closer to the man (Buhari) more
than any other person and since she has
voiced this out, the husband should take
it and review some of his actions and
decisions.
“It will not be good for the President to
ignore the complaints from the wife. She
has been with him and is disturbed by
certain things happening around the
husband, so it’s natural for her to talk.”
Speaking almost in the same vein,
Ehiozuwa.Johnson Agbonayinma, Egor/
Ikpoba Okha Federal constituency, said
the first lady’s interview had vindicated
most of them who had continuously
maintained that the President had been
hijacked by a cabal.
He called on Nigerian women to rally
round the first lady and support her “in
her campaign to save Nigeria from the
hands of a few selfish individuals.”
He also noted that the first lady must
have swallowed her worry for long and
had decided to speak out in frustration.
