Muslims Criticize Aisha Buhari’s Un-Islamic Dressing In The United States

Yesterday, the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha, visited the United States for some official events in Washington DC, where she said she got a warm reception.

However, the first lady, who was criticized by many after being pictured with a ‘Hermes Birkin Crocodile Gold Hardware Bag’ worth $105,000 (N40,950,000), has faced yet another bashing after posting some photos during one of the events she attended in the states.

Some of her Muslim fans on Facebook expressed their anger over her choice of outfit saying that it is un-Islamic. A survey of comments by her fans showed that they are not happy with the skirt suit she wore, even though it was ankle-length and she also had her head covered.

One fan, Ibrahaem Audu Saeedu said, “This is not the way to dress. @wife of the president. Decency tells the personality of a person. Maybe you need emulate Turai and wife of former vice president. How do you preach decency, pls? I am highly disappointed that my daughters have considered you a role model.”

Engr Alkali Muktar: “Aisha you are really disappointing Islam and Nigeria in general…..what a dress mode that even Dame patience has never practice on arrival back home…..Buhari should take measures”.

But Aisha was not without support from other fans who feel that what she wore was decent enough and that she deserved her privacy.

Ajoge Naseer Sanni said: “My Muslim brothers and sisters should come reality that Aisha Buhari the wife of Sultan of Sokoto, Sheikh Gumi or Lamido Sanusi who are Ameers. Her husband is a President of a secular state. Debate on their policies and leave their personal lives for them. They are entitled to it,”

Another fan named Hadiza Abubakar Onimisi said: “I knew the holier than thou people must talk. Chaii! Kilode? Can you people see better things to talk of? She is not the Sultan wife or an imam wife. She is the president’s wife, plus I am sure that her husband must have seen her dress like that before she took off. So what’s your own? Let’s learn to stop this religious I too know before it kills us all. Haba!”
