Browsing: Aisha Buhari

Mrs Buhari’s position opens her to attacks, it is to be expected. The others before her, who used the title of “First Lady” anyway, were easily sucked in by the leeches of our political sphere. They were drawn into the circle of unbridled acquisition by these same persons who later used that same fact as the shackles that ensured compliance from women who had direct access to the leaders of Africa’s most populous nation. What followed for each of these wives were compromised litanies of stories that made Presidents look bad using wives as their leverage.
