There have been lashes at the person of the APC presidential candidate , Buhari since Sarah Obozuwa spoke about the affair between him and his wife, Aisha Buhari.
How this all started?
Mrs. Buhari had in a campaign rally for her husband's presidential bid in Edo state over the weekend , she had described the women of Edo as prostitutes, claiming her husband's administration will stop the prostitution by Edo women abroad.
Now Sarah Obozuwa, the Founder of the Edo Women for Change has called on Edo women to forgive Mrs .Buhari saying;
" Aisha Buhari was born on September 29, 1979. As of today, Mrs. Buhari is only 35 years of age. This means that Buhari at age 47, in 1989 was sleeping with Aisha Buhari at the tender age of 9, an underage according to the constitution of Nigeria. So Mrs.Buhari is a victim of sustained childhood rape and her outbursts are understandable"
How Buhari got Aisha Buhari pregant at age 12 is a chilling story of a Buhari who defiled Aisha as a little child while she was visiting Zulai, Buhari’s eldest daughter who was her playmate.
It is ironic how such a traumatized woman now stands at the vanguard of stigmatizing fellow women.
A coalition of 22
Christian groups in Nigeria led by National Christian Elders Forum
(NCEF), yesterday, said the declaration of September 12 as public
holiday in commemoration of Eid-El-Kabir celebration by the Sultan of
Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, was the height of impunity.

A similar incident took place in July 2016, when Christian organisations
criticised the extension of public holiday by the Federal Government
over the non-sighting of the moon by the Sultan.
A statement issued by the chairman of NCEF, Mr. Solomon Asemota (SAN),
on behalf of the coalition and obtained by journalists in Abuja, said it
was “very improper for the head of the Islamic faith in Nigeria to
announce, declare, or extend public holidays.”
The statement entitled: ‘Is the Federal Government Abdicating Its
Responsibility?’, reads: “We unequivocally wish to state that it is
very improper for the head of the Islamic faith in Nigeria to announce,
declare, or extend Public Holidays.
“This is the function of the Federal Government and need not be
abdicated. This kind of anomalous development has not been taking place
in Nigeria until the advent of the Buhari Administration which has gone
to great lengths to deepen religious divide and tension in Nigeria.
“Again, we have no objection whatsoever to the Muslim Public Holiday but
our concern is that in a secular society as enshrined in Section 10 of
the Constitution, the responsibility of declaring or announcing a
religious Public Holiday is vested in the Federal Government and such
responsibility is sacrosanct.
“We are not unaware of various manipulations and acts of impunity to
transform Nigeria from a Liberal Democratic society to an Islamic
Theocratic State. As we stated in our previous paper, the full
membership of Nigeria in OIC, in 1986, by the Babangida Military
Administration is tantamount to making Nigeria an Islamic state.
“The nation is yet to resolve this unilateral imposition of one religion
over the nation by an individual. We also conclude that the present
distress in the nation, occasioned by religious intolerance and
insurgency, from the development of Boko Haram to the evolving of
fanatical Muslim assailants, like the Fulani herdsmen, derive from this
unilateral and improper decision of the Babangida Administration.
“Even the sponsors and actors of the membership of Nigeria in OIC in
1986 were aware of the illegality of their action and as such, kept it
out of public knowledge for 10 years until 1996 when Sultan Dasuki
confirmed to the Pope that Nigeria was a full member of the OIC.
“We wish to remind the present Administration that religion is a very
sensitive and emotional aspect of Nigerians. The wisdom of the founding
fathers of this nation to adopt Liberal Democracy as national ideology
to accommodate all the divergent groups in the nation cannot be faulted.
“Any attempt to distort that delicate balance in the Nigerian society
shall produce nothing but destruction and devastation as the nation is
currently witnessing. There is still time for religious extremists to
desist before they push Nigeria off the brink of the precipice.”
