Twitter users knock Aisha Buhari for begging Kogi people to forgive Yahaya Bello
Nigeria’s First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has come under criticism from Nigerians on social media over her plea to the people of Kogi State to forgive and forget any wrong Governor Yahaya Bello may have committed during his first term in office.
Like Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai, the wife of the president made the plea at a rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lokoja ahead of the Saturday, November 16, governorship election in the state.
Aisha told the residents of the state that the verification exercise organised for civil servants in the state was the reason why Bello could not pay salaries for some time.
She said Kogi residents will not be disappointed if they vote for the incumbent governor following the president’s intervention regarding the payment of salaries in the state.
“My husband used to emphasise on salaries, it took a while for the Kogi salary payment to get settled after a long time of verification,” she said.
“But this time vote for him for continuity of payment of salary on time.”
Aisha’s comment at the campaign rally enraged some Nigerians who have taken to Twitter to lambaste her for “associating with failure”.
@M_Abba tweeted:
Aisha Buhari insulted her husband for bad leadership, but when election came she begged Nigerians to vote for him.
The same Aisha Buhari begged the people of Kogi to vote for Yahaya Bello who failed to pay 30 months salary.
Hope she will beg him to pay salaries after election

Aisha buhari is begging kogi people to forgive yahaya bello after the mess he did in the state.
Surprising how some people think this woman is different from the lots. It’s obvious she has been acting a script and her utterances proves it
It’s left for kogi to decide her future

Aisha Buhari has joined them in pleading on behalf of the donkey called Bello but what’s more laughable is that some pple still hold this woman in high esteem.
I believe it was Einstein who said he was more certain of human stupidity being infinite than he was of the universe.

” Unpaid salaries; forgive Yahaya Bello, Aisha Buhari begs Kogi people ”
” I am kneeling down to beg you to forgive Yahaya Bello “~ Nasiru El-Rufai
I will bet you there are morons who consider these callous empty begging as ” humility “, and a reason to forgive Yahaya Bello

I am confused by Aisha Buhari.
She has condemned this govt (her husband’s govt) of gross incompetence, now she is telling Kogi to forgive Yahaya Bello for gross incompetence.
Can someone balance me real quick?
Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me!

This aisha Buhari is beginning to look ugly in my eyes .
The fact that she asks people to support a person like yahaya Bello for second term has made me irritated like her husband’s terrible govt isn’t enough damage.
The woman stinks in my eyes rn tbh .?
