Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Layla Ali Othman, the wife of Plateau State House of Representatives member, Yusuf Gagdi, has blasted Nigerians for criticising her husband for buying a new Sport Utility Vehicle, SUV, for their daughter, Aisha, as a secondary school graduation\u2019s gift.<\/p>\n

Gagdi gifted his teenage daughter the luxurious car, to celebrate her secondary school graduation from the Lead British International School Abuja.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker faced backlash for gifting the teenager such an expensive car amid Nigeria\u2019s current economic challenges.<\/p>\n

However, reacting to the criticism in a trending Facebook post on Sunday, Layla stated that they bought the car because they could afford it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to give information, you should get your facts right. It is a 2021 model. And yes, it is equally expensive, we are proud of our child, as she did very well in school.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd yes, we bought her the car because we could afford it. But the car wasn\u2019t bought with constituency money or government allocated funds for the people. If you do not believe, kindly argue with your ancestors.\u201d<\/p>\n
