“We’ll Stop Edo Girls From Traveling Abroad For Prostitution” Mrs Aisha Buhari
by Zenith Oduah
Did the wife to Nigeria’s All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, Mrs Aisha Buhari used a stereotypical term in addressing the people of Edo state while addressing them yesterday.
Mrs Buhari while promising to tackle girl-child trafficking and end widows’ sufferings said, “I am here to let Edo women know that when my husband is elected, insecurity, girl-child trafficking and suffering of widows will end. They don’t need to go and prostitute somewhere to survive.”.
The statement credited to Mrs Buhari is sure not going well with Edo born Lawyer, Abdul Mahmud who tweeted the following..

If that remark isn't offensive, stereotypical and crass, nothing is. Defend it as you would want to 4/

Every foul language has what is contained within it: disdain, disrespect and disregard. No one has monopoly of abuses. I say no more 5/5
