President Muhammadu Buhari

The Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Political Matters, Mr. Gideon Samani, has said that the president did not include many women in his cabinet because he is “very shy dealing with the opposite sex.” Samani who stated this at the fifth annual lecture series organised by the "Change We Need in Nigeria” group, was defending the low female appointments the President had made so far, since he took over power on May 29.
According to him, the president was used to interacting mainly with men. Samani, however, quickly added that the issue of gender inequality would be addressed by the president.
