I have just read Abimbola Adelakun’s piece on the above title. I want to believe that the writer is just looking for faults where none exists. If Buhari forgets to remove his cap at an interdenominational service, even if during a church service, ushers should have told him respectfully to remove his cap. If he refuses, then it becomes an issue. Then, the issue of whether or not he goes out with his wife should not be blown beyond proportion. The reason being that this is a personal issue and the man’s religious tenets might not favour such a practice.

When the late Alhaji Ahmadu Bello implored his contemporaries in the nationalist struggle to understand their differences-cultural diversity of this nation, but not merely know it, this is what he meant. And I want the writer to note this also. Buhari’s photo with his family will show him a good family man but that is not enough. The issues at hand are beyond this; how we are going to solve the myriad of problems facing this nation should be the priority. Let us try and showcase the good sides of our candidates irrespective of ethnic/religious differences.

I refer to the article on the back page of The PUNCH, Thursday, January 8, 2015 by Abimbola Adelakun.

The office of the First Lady is not constitutional. It was the former dictator, Ibrahim Babangida, who created the office. If Buhari is not exposing the wife to politics, that does not mean women will not be recognised.

Please, don’t make a mountain out of a molehill.
