Some Muslim fundamentalists have criticised Nigeria's President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari on social media for shaking women, describing his actions as "Un-Islamic."
According to a report, the Muslim hardliners are of the opinion that Buhari should not be seen shaking women, with emphasis on the married ones.
The last public handshake Buhari was involved in with a woman took place on Friday during the wedding of Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole. Buhari was photographed shaking the hand of Oshiomole's bride Iara Forte.
The critics posted other pictures of the retired military general shaking the hands of several other women at different times in his public apperances.
"The wave of un-Islamic handshakes continues,"one post said. "Un-Islamic handshakes galore," another post read on Facebook.
In some northern Nigerian states, which are predominantly Muslim-dominated and where Buhari hails from, shaking a married woman can lead to serious repercussions, especially states that observe the Sharia Law.
When Buhari assumes office on the 29th of May 2015, he will no doubt have cause to continuously shake more women as his position requires him to meet all and sundry in the course of his duties.
Buhari had spoken favourably in support of the sharia law in the past and he has been frequently accused of being a fundamentalist himself, especially during the electioneering period. But, the 72 year old has always denied the charge. He has also continuously described himself as a tolerant Muslim who has always worked with people of other faiths.
