Scraping The First Lady’s Office Is Not In The Best Interest Of Women- Prophetess

Prophetess Nonny Robertson, a women right crusader has criticised the call by some people that President Buhari should scrap the office of the First Lady saying those calling for the scrap do not have the best interest of Nigerian women at heart. Below is what she said.

“It is wrong to scrap the Office of the First Lady because it is mere semantics as the wife of the president remains what she is whether designated a First Lady or not. Calling for the scrapping of the office would adversely affect the fortunes of women and their expected contributions to nation building,” she said.

“We have had series of first ladies; your perception about them is only real to you but not to another person. If you perceive that one or two first ladies misbehaved, you will also perceive that some did well. So there should be no need taking a drastic action abolishing the Office of the First Lady. If we notice that they go out of the bounds, we should find a way to curtail that rather than scrapping the office entirely,” she said.
