Mrs. Aisha Buhari has been commended by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, for her occasional criticism of some Federal Government actions.
Obasanjo, who spoke in Abeokuta yesterday, however suggested that for Aisha to get her husband’s attention to grasp the “true state of the nation,” she should engage her husband in “pillow talk.”
The First Lady has occasionally expressed displeasure about some decisions of the Federal Government, the latest being her challenge to the security agencies to find solution to the consistent banditry in the country.
In his reaction to the development, Obasanjo, who commended Mrs. Buhari for speaking out, said: “Apparently, the First Lady has not adopted the bedroom approach to get her husband’s attention to the issues”
Besides, the former President, stressed that intensive advocacy and sensitisation would raise awareness.
A release by media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, in Abeokuta quoted Obasanjo as saying: “We have to put all things on the table to address these problems. Mind you, we have to be sincere and genuine with ourselves.
“It is nice that the President’s wife is talking. I think she did well, and may be she should also have a pillow talk with the President.”
