Nollywood actress, Uche Jumbo calls out Buhari's wife, Aisha Buhari, for calling Edo women prostitues.
Aisha recently held a campaign rally for her husband in Edo State where she described the women of Edo State, as “prostitutes” .
In her statement, she said her husband’s administration will stop the prostitution by Edo women abroad.
Uche took to her official Facebook page to address the statement. Here is what she wrote;
"Please
NOTE this is not about APC / PDP or who you are voting…..(file under
what we shouldn’t use to campaign as girl – child trafficking is an
advocacy I support and can tell you it’s sensitive ) this was sent to
me.
Concerning Nigerian gender activists
have called on the women of Edo State to forgive the unguarded comments
recently credited to Mrs. Aisha Buhari, wife of the APC Presidential Candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari.
Mrs.
Buhari had in a campaign rally for her husband’s presidential bid in
Edo State over the weekend had described the women of Edo State, as “prostitutes” claiming her husband’s administration will stop the prostitution by Edo women abroad.
In a swift response to Mrs. Buhari on Monday in Benin, Sarah Obozuwa, Founder of the Edo Women for Change (EWC) called on Edo women to forgive Mrs. Buhari.
“Aisha
Buhari was born on September 29, 1979. As of today, Mrs. Buhari is only
35 years of age. She was married to Buhari in August 13, 1989, at the
age of 9.
This means that Buhari at age
47, in 1989 was having sex with Aisha Buhari at the tender age of 9, an
underage according to the constitution of Nigeria. So Mrs. Buhari is a
victim of sustained childhood rape and her outbursts are
understandable”, she said.
Speaking further, Mrs. Obozuwa said:
“How
Buhari got Aisha Buhari pregnant at age 13 is a chilling story of a
Buhari who defiled Aisha as a little child while she was visiting Zulai,
Buhari’s eldest daughter who was her playmate. It is ironic how such a
traumatized woman now stands at the vanguard of stigmatizing fellow
women.”
As a supporter of all advocacy
for women. … be it domestic violence,child marriage, women rights or
what have you.i stay out of politics but… i shared the last post when I
saw it and made my research… i repeat I don’t care about APC or PDP …
I
have never taken money from any political party because I don’t EVER
want to loose my right to question people about their statements and if
the first lady made that statement I will still post it as i don’t like
using stereotypical term in addressing ‘issues’ ….
if
you insult me on my page I will simply block you and not sweat it but
it wouldn’t stop me from sharing my thoughts and beliefs or my love for A
better Nigeria.you are free to Google the speech.#UJR - She wrote.
