I Was Only Joking- President Buhari to Garba Shehu

The Senior  Assistant to the President on media and publicity, Garba Shehu,said President Muhammadu Buhari  was only joking with his remarks that his wife, Aisha, belongs to the kitchen and other rooms.

Shehu gave the explanation in a message disclosed on his Twitter. 

While saying that Buhari laughed before making the statement, Shehu said politics should sometimes be spiced up with humour.

The president wrote , “My friends, can’t a leader get a sense humour anymore? Mr. President laughed before that statement was made. He was obviously throwing a banter.

Those of us close to him knows there is never a dull moment with him. “Mr. President respects the place of women in our society. He believes in the abilities of women. “One of Nigeria’s most sensitive offices today is headed by a woman, Mrs. Adeosun. This is an evidence of the confidence he reposes in women.”
