President Buhari has however responded saying his wife only belongs to his kitchen . Watch below:
Meanwhile, presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, has said that President Buhari was only joking
Read the full text of Aisha Buhari's controversial interview below:
BBC Hausa: It has
been One and a half years since President Muhammadu Buhari came into power, a
lot of people are expressing their unhappiness over the way few acquaintance of
the President have hijacked power while neglecting people that work for his success.
Like we have promised, here is how the interview with Aisha Buhari and Naziru
Maka’ilu from Abuja goes.
BBC
Hausa: People have goodwill towards President Muhammadu Buhari, especially
looking at the things he did before, but since coming into power things have
not been working the way they should, what do you thing is the cause?
Aisha Buhari: I
am not a government official, but in my opinion as a woman, a mother, what I
think is it is well known that the first 4 years are not going to be easy.
Firstly, it was people that brought the government into power. More than half
of those people are not appointed into the government. Some people that are not
politicians, not professionals were brought into the government. They don’t
even know what we said we want and what we don’t during the campaign.
They even come out and say to people we are not politicians, but they are
occupying the offices meant for politicians. Some have parted with their wives,
some lost their children lost, some women too have parted with their husbands
because of politics, a lot happened during the time. The way things are going I
too I am not happy. We are just starting, we have not finished. Some people
that worked for the government have been appointed. But those heading
government agencies you can find one fighting his state governor, they
contested together during election one in APC while in PDP.
BBC Hausa: Who are
those doing these kinds of things?
Aisha Buhari:
Everybody knows them. Those people should know that people voted singly. Even
Buhari too had one vote. Nobody voted 5 times. 15.429 Million People.
That one that people are thinking too, he had only some 2 or 3 people. I am
pleading to them to have the people at heart and embrace everybody so that we
can all move together. Not even now in 2016 or 17, lot of people are creating
divisions within the APC, which is our source of concern. They think they have
worked for the government while those appointed some of them had no voter’s
card. What I fear is uprising of 15.4 million people.
BBC Hausa: Is the
President aware some people are subverting his government?
Aisha Buhari: Whether
he knows or he do not, those that voted for him knows.
BBC Hausa: But you
are the most closest to him, did you tell him?
Aisha Buhari: There
is nothing I can tell him, he is seeing things himself. Out of the people he
has appointed, take 50, 45 of them I don’t know them. Perhaps he doesn’t know
them too. I have been living with him for 27 years.
BBC Hausa: Do you
think there are some people that are dictating to the President things to do,
not him?
Aisha Buhari: That is
what I am saying, those that know they don’t have voters card, they should give
chance to those that have, they are the ones that struggled and knows what we
want to do. Some of them if you go to a meeting with them they will tell you,
we are not politicians, if somebody is wise, they will not accept to take any
political office. They didn’t even work for it. Even if you are asked to, you
should say it is not my profession. Those places not headed by
politicians will cause people discontent.
BBC Hausa: One would
wonder to hear you say some people have hijacked the government without him
knowing, but who do you think are those people?
Aisha Buhari: I don’t
know them, I don’t know them. I don’t know them
BBC Hausa: But some
people are calling names, saying 2 or 3 are the ones, do you that as well?
Aisha Buhari: Yes I
agree. Because of those appointed apart from Fashola, Ameachi and some others,
not much, I don’t know them, most of us too don’t know them, and he too does
not know them
BBC Hausa: One would
wonder that Buhari is not the one charge knowing him as a person who had
leadership experiences, people would not believe
Aisha Buhari: Yes it
is surprising; nobody thought it is going to be like this. But now that it is
so…sometimes when one is doing something wrong without him knowing, but when
people talk to them, they should listen. Because in the future, whether he is
going to contest or not, it is that same people that would vote for APC. We
hope those people don’t come back, and everybody don’t hope so too
BBC Hausa: You said
“Whether he is going to contest in the future or not”, has he disclose it to
you whether he is standing or not?
Aisha Buhari: He
didn’t tell me, but I have made up my mind.
