Aisha Buhari is vocal about the things she cares about –Ali Baba
Ace comedian Ali Baba has weighed in on the “My wife belongs in the kitchen, living and other room” statement credited to President Muhammadu Buhari by saying that Aisha Buhari is vocal about the things she cares about.
The humour merchant who has now added motivational speaking to his stock in trade also noted in a post on Instagram that President Buhari has the right to say where his wife belongs to.
“Aisha’s Buhari… does not belong bro the kitchen. Like every other successful career woman in Nigeria, she belongs to the areas where she and her likes can help to build a great nation. From my last check, she is not In Purdah and has been an advocate for the betterment of women. She is vocal about the things she is concerned about, and if you know the kind of man she married, if he did not support her or better put, give her that room, not the other room, to operate, she would not have had the success she had had in her career like she has today.

“True she is the wife of Mr President. True, he has the right to say where his wife belongs. But don’t be fooled by the hype and brouhaha that had been generated. That is not a woman that is conscripted to a kitchen. That is a very free woman. I had to go read her past interviews to see if she had changed. She hasn’t. She is still vocal, and will always say it as it is. Even those who called her a criminal wanted in the United States of America, all of a sudden see her as Queen Amina.
“My take is, Buhari wanted to say, the wife has a right to say what she wants to say but as far as his administration was concerned, her role was limited to those places mentioned (kitchen, living room and the other room). Notice that they don’t share the same bedroom. The main bedroom is different from the other room. But that said, as a wife, those are the areas of restrictions. But as an advocate… she is at large. Aisha is a Citizen without borders. But if that bothers you, konteeenuuuuu!”
