Candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, Mrs Aisha Buhari used a
stereotypical term in addressing the people of Edo state while
addressing them yesterday.
Mrs Buhari while promising to tackle girl-child trafficking and end
widows' sufferings said, "I am here to let Edo women know that when my
husband is elected, insecurity, girl-child trafficking and suffering
of widows will end. They don't need to go and prostitute somewhere to
survive.".
The statement credited to Mrs Buhari is sure not going well with Edo
born Lawyer, Abdul Mahmud who tweeted the following..
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>"We'll stop
Edo girls from traveling abroad for prostitution when my husband is
voted in as president" -Aisha Buhari 1/</p>— Abdul Mahmud

That news report has ostensibly been removed by Vanguard but it can
still be traced to it with a simple engine search 3/

If that remark isn't offensive, stereotypical and crass, nothing is.

Every foul language has what is contained within it: disdain,
disrespect and disregard. No one has monopoly of abuses. I say no more
