Nigerians mock Bauchi first lady as after her convoy gets trapped on flooded road

Bauchi State first lady, Hajiya Aisha Bala Muhammad, was forced to walk through mud water Saturday after her convoy got trapped on flooded road.

She was said to be on her way to commission a healthcare centre in the Jamdan area of the state.

A video and several pictures posted on social media platform on Saturday showed her convoy trapped on the flooded and poorly maintained road, resulting in her SUV convoy being immobilised.

The first lady as shown in the photographs showed was forced to step out of her vehicle as she walked through the water to reach her destination.

The pictures have elicited reactions from Nigerians, who mostly mocked the lady.

“They’ve been around the corridors of power for years more than any other tribe but ‘na Dem still suffer pass’,” a Nigerian social media user, Chinasa Omeri, said.

She added, “Engaging in open discussions about government and its actions is vital for a healthy democracy. It’s great to see people using social media to bring attention to important issues and hold leaders accountable.”

Other commentators on the X platform did not spare the first lady over the ordeal.

@Sunigab also said, “It’s her husband doing. She should not be surprised.”

@verphs76 wrote, “If Ballot papers can get to Jamdan during election period, good health care should reach the good people of Jamdan too but patient in critical.”

@munir__ell said, “Unfortunately If there is no access road for restocking of medical instruments and medication as well as access road to the facility by neighbouring communities, then this is just another show off as usual.”
