Atiku Mocks President Buhari: My Wives Are Not Relegated To "The Other Room"


The presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, his wives and the National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus on Friday mocked President Muhammadu Buhari over the relegation of women to the kitchen or the bedroom which the President referred to as the ‘other room’.

They all spoke in Abuja at the Women Conferences with the theme “Call for Action.”
While Atiku promised to give women more than 35 percent in his government and would not be put in the other room, his wives said their husband, Atiku didn’t put them in the other room, but give them free hand and allowed them to do their businesses.

Atiku said: “We have no fear of handing over the country to you. In my three decades of politics, the most consistent voters in the Nigeria political process are women. I have practically seen it, if I stand as a candidate and I turn my back to look at the lines that are supporting me, the women lines are always three times that of the men.

“It is the reason why we said we are going to give you more than 35 percent, because your numbers and your pattern of voting justified that commitment.
“Therefore, between youth and women you have 70 percent of the government. This is to prepare you to take over governance, to take over this country and make it work again.

“So, this is your opportunity, your are not going to be put in the other room, I promise you because you have seen my wives here, they are not in the other room.”

Princess Rukayat Atiku Abubakar, the second wife of Atiku said that women have always been at the centre of events and called on them to reject the narrative that the place of women is in the kitchen.
Also speaking, Hajiya Titi Atiku Abubakar, his first wife said, “the candidate of today is a sellable candidate. As you can see, Atiku has not relegated us to the other room. He allows us to go wherever we want, he allows us to do our businesses, so we are not relegated to the other room.

A man who couldn't find a black doll in the shops as a gift for his niece decided to take matters into his own hands.

The doll, which is called Queens of Africa, comes with traditional outfits and accessories and costs around £4.50. See more photos

Atiku Fires Back At APC On His Citizenship

Image
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the February 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar, has said his citizenship as a Nigerian is not in doubt. He said this in a statement issued on Saturday by his media adviser, Paul Ibe. It should be recalled that the All Progressives Congress, in its defence at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal had insinuated that Atiku is not a Nigerian but from Cameroon. In reaction, Atiku said he would not dignify APC with a response, adding that his lawyers will do the needful in court. He said,   “The position of the APC is so pedestrian and shows such straw-clutching desperation on their part, that I shall not dignify it with an answer. Our lawyers would, of course, do the needful in court. “But the point I want to draw the attention of Nigerians to is that both the APC and its candidate have by this infantile logic admitted to the fact that they trampled on the will of Nigerians and that their only de...
