Aisha Buhari breaks silence, slams abduction of girls

Wife of President Buhari, Aisha slammed the continuous mass abductions of women and girls by bandits and insurgents in the north.

Aisha who has been off the public space for months after allegedly relocating to Dubai in a statement on the occasion of International Women’s Day said: “As a mother, I share the sorrow and agony of the victims and families”.

“I am also not unaware of the impact that these abductions could have in reverting many successes we have hitherto achieved, especially in terms of girl-child education and early marriages.”

She called on all stakeholders to exert their different levels of influence towards bringing the mass abductions to an end.

While appreciating the efforts of women and girls in the fight against COVID-19, she noted the pandemic has had a huge impact on women, disrupted education, careers and proliferation of domestic violence.

She urged everyone that beyond spreading the message of COIVD-19 protocol, they should remember and support those negatively affected by the pandemic.
