An aide to President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the president hasn’t appointed many women into his government because he’s ‘shy’ around them.
Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant, Political Matters, Gideon Samani
made the comment in Abuja on Thursday, October 22, 2015 during a
lecture series organised by the Change We Need in Nigeria group.
“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,” Samani said.
“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,” he added.
