LOL! President Buhari Is Shy Around The Opposite Sex - Presidential Aide

Hmmm.. Really? Lol. Ehh, even if our Presido is
shame, we need more female appointments, right
now, we are being marginalised, that's not
what's obtainable out there, in Germany for
instance, I said Germany, because, it seems
Amaechi is in love with their system, lol, he kept
saying Germany yesterday, hahaha, Amaechi,
chaii!!
Some insight has been provided into President
Muhammadu Buhari's aversion for women and
the low number of female appointments since he
assumed office, with his Senior Special Assistant,
Political Matters, Mr. Gideon Samani, disclosing
that the president did not include many women
in his cabinet because he is "very shy dealing
with the opposite sex."
Samani, who spoke on Thursday in Abuja at the
fifth annual lecture series organised by the
Change We Need in Nigeria group, said Buhari
was used to interacting with men, but added
quickly that the issue of gender inequality would
be addressed by the president.
His statement contrasted with that of a
ministerial nominee from Kogi State, Mr. James
Ocholi (SAN), who in defence of the low
representation of women in the federal cabinet,
told the Senate on Thursday that Buhari had
brought women into prominence, including the
late Prof. Dora Akunyili.
According to Samani, "If you are close to Mr.
President, you will know that he has the interest
of the nation as his uppermost priority. He did
not intentionally marginalise women.
"It is just that Mr. President is shy with
women. He has been interacting mostly with
men. I can assure you that in the shortest time,
this issue of gender inequality will be dealt with."
Samani, who was once a Speaker of the Kaduna
State House of Assembly and represented the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
Mr. Babachir Lawal at the event, said the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lost the last
election to the All Progressives Congress (APC)
due to insecurity, economic challenges and
corruption in high places, thereby forcing the
people to seek for change.
"The change we seek is real and not mere
rhetoric. People must feel it, touch it, and
experience it across the different strata of our
society, in schools, churches, market places and
at all our duty posts.
"It is not going to be business as usual. Many
guilty Nigerians, of their own accord, have fled
the country. Our public institutions are now
working.
"The availability of fuel and the generation and
distribution of power have improved ever since.
All hands must be on deck for all of us to be
these agents of change." He stated.
Speaking at the event, Senator Chris Anyanwu
expressed disappointment with the appointments
made so far by the President, stating that,
despite the fact that the number one citizen
benefitted immensely from female voters, he has
relegated them to the background.
She noted that so far, no woman from the
South-east had been given a political
appointment and that even the numbers of
women in Buhari's government is a far cry from
what obtains worldwide.
"Mr. President has benefitted so much from
us. We don't expect him to draw us back.
Women are able and strong to move this nation
forward. Anything you do, you should know that
the whole world is watching you.
"So far,women have been marginalised. No
woman from the east has been given a political
appointment and the ones he did were a far cry
to what is obtainable anywhere in the world.
"We talk of change but we are afraid of the
change. We have moved from the era where
women clapped and danced for male politicians.
President Buhari should be gender sensitive. He
should open the door and let women rise up to
their full potential." She said.
The senator added that gender equality should
begin with parents by treating their children
equally.
