Femi Fani Kayode took a swipe at President Buhari for shaking the hand of the Queen of England, Elizabeth Alexandra.
You will recall that on Thursday, October 22, 2015 during a lecture series organised by the Change We Need in Nigeria group, the Senior Special Assistant, Political Matters, to the President, Gideon 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.”
This comment came after Buhari was criticised for not appointing much women on his cabinet.
Meanwhile, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, denied reports that the president is shy around women.
Adesina said “The claim that President Muhammadu Buhari is shy around women, purportedly made by one Gideon Samani yesterday and published by a national newspaper today is totally fallacious.
“The subsequent attribution of the supposedly “low number” of female ministerial nominees to President Buhari’s alleged shyness around women is therefore baseless and a figment of the imagination of the said Mr. Samani, who was falsely described as the “Senior Special Assistant (Political Matters) to the President.”
Femi Fani-Kayode was a Special Assistant to President Olusegun Obasanjo from July 2003 until June 2006, and a former minister of aviation.
