Aisha’s Action: A Sign of Love- Prof. Siddique
POLITICS DIGEST– Professor Abubakar Siddique Mohammed of the Department of Political Science and International Studies at Ahmadu Bello University, ABU, said the wife of the president, Aisha Buhari is right to protect her husband. He described the first lady’s confrontation as a sign of love.
The don was reacting to the incident that led to shooting at the presidential villa last week.
President Buhari on Sunday ordered an investigation into the reported gunshots in the Presidential Villa, Abuja. PR Nigeria had reported how trouble broke out when First Lady Aisha Buhari asked the Special Assistant to President Buhari, Sabiu Tunde Yusuf, to self-isolate in line with the COVID-19 guideline after returning from Lagos.

Professor Siddique said the First Lady did the right thing by insisting that Tunde should self-isolate as recommended by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19. He, however, added that: “It may be an extension of her fight with Mamman Daura and Abba Kyari as I read in the newspapers, but her action shows that she loves her husband. “This is what a good wife should do to protect her husband, because when he gets infected, she would also be infected with her children.
“You can see that Sabiu Yusuf (alias Tunde) ran to Mamman Daura’s house, obviously to get protection, because they are in the same camp, as people are alleging. This is not my concern anyway; my concern is that the security agents ought not to have allowed him to get into the Villa as they did to people that attended Abba Kyari’s burial.
So, Aisha is absolutely right to protect her husband since the people that are supposed to do that are not up to their responsibilities. I don’t know why some people don’t want to respect women. For them anything a woman does is wrong.”
