A civic group, African Centre for Media and Information Literacy, said it smacked of hypocrisy for Mrs. Aisha Buhari to blame only ministers and governors for the socio-economic situation in the country, while turning a blind eye to the \u201cineptitude\u201d of her husband\u2019s administration.
\nAFRICMIL coordinator, Dr. Chido Onumah, said Aisha was one of the major beneficiaries of \u201cBuhari\u2019s lack of consistency and ineptitude.\u201d
\nThe activist stated that the First Lady\u2019s statement indicting the nation\u2019s political leadership called to question her husband\u2019s capacity to govern.
\nHe said, \u201cBeyond the question of hypocrisy, I don\u2019t think it is in her place, but as a Nigerian, she is entitled to her opinion on that; but I think there is a serious question mark when she comes out to make such statements at a public event, knowing full well what is going on in the presidency, which, to be fair to her, she had also condemned in the past.\u201d
\nOnumah added, \u201cIt is quite hypocritical of her to choose and pick in terms of profligacy and waste that is going on in government, but it also tells you why there is need to do a proper overhaul from the presidency downwards.
\n\u201cIt also calls to question the capacity of her husband to govern.
\n\u201cWhere is the man we elected to govern?
\n\u201cHe is missing in action. That, for me, is the more troubling issue.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
