By GWG Lifestyle Editor
Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila has kept mum as diverse reactions mostly dwelling on the eccentric continue to mount over wife, Salamatu’s N12 million fashion outlay as revealed in a Twitter post.
A move by her defenders to drag in the wife of Atiku Abubakar and former petroleum minister, Diezani Allison-Madueke failed to get traction as Nigerians frowned at the N12 million four fashion items that they said did not fit her and fit the mood of the society.A twitter user, Frank had estimated four of the fashion outfit worn by Salamatu Gbajabiamila including the handbag put at Handbag: £1,995 or $2,661= N1,463,550, a coat put at $4,800= N2,640,000, a Wristwatch: $11,000= N6,050,000 and a shoe estimated at $3,500= N1,925,000.
The other accessories donned by Salamatu Gbajabiamila were not estimated but the Twitter user was able to estimate four of the designer items from fashion catalogues.
While an overwhelming majority of comments were adversarial, there were a few which sought to make excuses for the lady.
Besides questioning the moral issues involved, many took exceptions with the fashion sense of Salamatu Gbajabiamila, the Speaker’s wife.

Why don’t you bring the details of Atikus wife coats and handbags or is she not also an influential woman

But what is it’s her hard earned money, this is normal for normal hardworking girls abroad and plus there’s credit card…nobody also said she bought all at once, let’s focus please
However, the majority of the reactions were adversarial saying that the dressing did not fit her and was out of sync with the mood of society.

Nahhh, expensive isn’t necessarily equal to beauty.

I legit thought she don kolo run enter market . That shoe is mad annoying cos it’s super ugly and makes no single sense at all. I’m sure she bought it just because it’s an expensive shoe.

Not in anyway supporting embezzlement, but this outfit is Diezani’s house girl standard. How do you compare this to someone that has jewelry set worth over $40M? That’s like N22 Billion in you N550 exchange rate.

This is just symptoms. Some of us are just what we are. How much is the salary of our lawmakers in Nigeria? They can afford this. We leave out the real issues and complain about it’s symptoms

I wish this story was more of rumour than real, in a country where many people are no more able to put any food on the table due to hardship.
Others who questioned the fashion style of Salamatu Gbajabiamila included:

And the beauty of life is at the end, she go still die leave everything for earth here. Even the cloth she will be buried with will be chosen for her. Death is the greatest gift of life

BINO BROWN @bbrown6554
Not try to be insulting, but after all that expensive outfit, she still looks like a village champion

Money can buy designer brands but not the class that goes with it. How tacky can tacky be
