STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE
PRESIDENT BUHARI NOT SHY AROUND WOMEN, DISOWNS ALLEGED PRESIDENTIAL AIDE WHO REPORTEDLY SAID SO
The claim that President Muhammadu Buhari is shy around women, purportedly made by one Gideon Samani yesterday and published by a national newspaper today is totally fallacious.
The subsequent attribution of the supposedly "low number" of female ministerial nominees to President Buhari's alleged shyness around women is therefore baseless and a figment of the imagination of the said Mr. Samani, who was falsely described as the "Senior Special Assistant (Political Matters) to the President.
The assertion by the alleged Presidential Aide that President Buhari is "very shy dealing with the opposite sex" because "he has been interacting mostly with men," was received by the President with shock and consternation.
For one thing, there is no Senior Special Assistant, Political Matters, in the office of the President for now and Mr. Samani who was said to have spoken as the Representative of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation at a public function yesterday, is not an aide of the President.
Mr Samani is certainly not an official spokesman of the President. Therefore, he could not have spoken on behalf of President Buhari, who is the President of all Nigerians, men and women alike.
President Buhari has a wife, many daughters and female relatives whom he loves dearly. He also had a mother that he adored. How then could he be shy in the company of women, to the point of allegedly not appointing them into public offices, on account of not being comfortable in their company?
Nigerian women can be assured that the President holds them in the highest esteem and will always give them due consideration in the discharge of his official responsibilities.
The statements attributed to Mr Samani are untrue and unauthorized. They should therefore be disregarded.

ReplyDeleteThey sha want to make him appear a sexist of some sort. First they complained he was running a sectionalized govt, now it is that he's not comfy around women. Buhari no get time to dey flirt biko, I keep saying it, no market for Abuja runz women in this administration. No market at all at all. Serious work has resumed aso rock. Madame shagaya and co, take note.

ReplyDeleteThe man of the moment.
Look at his his gap tooth,same as mine just that mine is wayyyy cuter...
When I heard that report,I didnt believe it 100%..
Even though I'm kinda disappointed in GMB,my love for him will not die(at least for now,its a thin line you know?)
Good the record was set straight.
Then the so call man need to be call to order, we reject careless and embarrassing statements. We don't need another Okupe.
ReplyDeletePeople don't have problem. Na wa fo this guy wo
ReplyDeleteSo no more tangible 2 talk about again other than bubu n woman!
ReplyDeleteAPC is jobless!
Who cares if he is or not. So that aide wants us to add that to our list of worries concerning buharis govt. Nawa
ReplyDeleteWomen should not be side lined, there are lots of capable hands out there like me...*shines teeth*
ReplyDeleteReally?
ReplyDeleteHe's not? Ok oo. Kam were egwu kwere.
But in this present dispensation he is still HIM, a measly 16% of the appointments were female. In a country bursting loose with competent and competitive female professionals?
This to me is frankly ludicrous. He is not giving the womenfolk a chance as he promised during his campaigns. Currently women are dominating management meetings in blue chip firms and SMEs as well.
Just a reminder Stella Kork...During Obasanjo's tenure, the figure was higher and In the last administration it was 37%. What a gap.
This is disheartening.
#teamladyprofessionalsrock.
Bad of him. Now they re trying to defend themselves. Bad bad bad
DeleteMore than 50 people died today in Nigeria and see what this idiot is talking about. SHAME SHAME SHAME on this administration.
ReplyDeleteHow does this make Nigeria better ? Msheeewg
ReplyDeleteSo how does this add up to the issues of Nigeria
ReplyDeleteIt's no longer Amaechi now abi
ReplyDeleteSorry to digress, I gave my bf a blow job for the first time, and two days later I have Sorethroat and catarrh. Is this normal, I am really scared and I regret my act. I have prayed to God to forgive and heal me.
ReplyDeleteLwkm.. go see doctor and tell him exactly what you did..
DeleteOlosho

DeleteYes. It means you have an incurable disease and will die soon.
You have carried all his diseases into your system. Since you want to be a mini Jesus Christ it is well with you.
Madam, those are the early stages of a viral infection. Perhaps Hepatitis b or even HIV, did you swallow the cum? Or maybe you had a cut in your mouth. See the doctor.
DeleteThis is not the real deal abeg. Whether he's shy or not, is not my business. The way forward is the koko. No light for days now. Wataguan!
ReplyDeleteSee talk
ReplyDeleteSee the way they deny everyone and every statement. Who then sent the samani to represent whom?
ReplyDeleteI dreamt Bubu asked SDK to give him 4females from this blog that he will give appointments
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahaha
DeleteLmao
DeleteHe should bring more women on board. I guess due to the low numbers of women appointment in his administration is the cause of this comment.
ReplyDeleteSo our C in C is afraid of women.
ReplyDeleteVery shameful.
Shy or not shy, we want to see the change he promised us in action.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteI think we have something 10 times worse than a Reuben Abati and Okupe on our hands.
Is this even worthy of responding to? Are there no serious issues of national importance that they can address?
If Samani was not a representative of the president why wss he given sn opportunity to speak for him. So who represented the president at that event. See how they denied the guy. Not my business sha cos he's part of them. All those ancient men should have been substituted with young and vibrant professional and honest women. My opinion.
