The Wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, has called for
collaboration between Muslims and Christians in tackling the menace of sex
abuse in Nigerian universities, workplaces and families.
Mrs Buhari made this call at a Public Lecture with the theme
“Life of an Ideal Muslim in Public Office,’’ organised by the Aisha Buhari
Foundation on Saturday at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa.
She said that the target audience of the lecture was the
youths in order to help them have a full grasp of the Islamic way of life and
avoid being led astray by some leaders they looked up to.
“We have to implement. It is not just reading the Koran and
failing to implement either because of politics or societal intimidation.
“It is high time we set a standard for every Muslim in
Nigeria; the Supreme Council has started working on something; very soon, we
are going to have a workshop that will bring all Nigerian Muslims together and
come up with a specific way of life for every Nigerian Muslim.
“I will also like to plead with the two bodies to work hand
in hand with the other religion in Nigeria –Christianity to see how we can
tackle sex abuse that is going on in universities; in the workplace and within
families where the family members tend to keep quiet because of stigma or other
things.
“We are supposed to use both religions to fight against
it,‘’ she said.
