Anger as Aisha Buhari flaunts daughter-in-law’s graduation from UK school amid ASUU strike

Social media was agog on Tuesday evening after the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha Buhari, congratulated her daughter-in-law, Zahra Buhari, for graduating with first class honours from a UK University.

Zahra is the wife of Buhari’s only son, Yusuf, and the daughter of Nasiru Ado Bayero, Emir of Bichi.

The post on Aisha’s verified Facebook page has generated reactions, especially amid the lingering strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

“Congratulations to Mrs. Zahra B Buhari on your graduation with First Class Honors in Architectural Science. Wishing you all the best,” the First Lady wrote.

The latest development from Aso Rock has angered many, especially because most Universities in Nigeria had been shut for more than seven months as government had failed to reach an agreement with teachers.

Even ASUU strike couldn’t stop Aisha Buhari from posting this? You can’t shame the shameless. The way the Buharis scammed Nigerians in 2015 should be studied. pic.twitter.com/oLZTgbEoRT

Aisha Buhari's tweet on her daughter in-law's graduation ceremony at the time when the public Universities are on strike is insensitive and very unfortunate.

Aisha Buhari is one of the biggest hypocrites around. She still had the mind to post her daughter graduating from a foreign university despite ASUU impasse still deadlocked.
The Buharis have to be the most insensitive and shameless people ever!
Like???

Aisha buhari didn’t come to Twitter to post her daughter’s graduation pictures because she knows Twitter NG will make her go into depression so she posted it on Facebook, so insensitive #ASUUStrikeMustEnd #ASUU #ASUUstrike #AsuuStrikeUpdate
