Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to comments made by his
wife, Aisha, that she may not support him if he seeks re-election in
2019.
In an interview with BBC Hausa, Mrs Buhari said: “I will not go out and
campaign again and ask any woman to vote like I did before. I will never
do it again.”
But President Buhari has laughed off his wife’s comment while talking to
reporters in Germany where he is meeting with the German Chancellor,
Angela Merkel.
“I don’t know which party my wife belongs to, but she belongs to my
kitchen and my living room and the other room,” said President Buhari,
Associated Press reported.
Mrs Buhari claimed that her husband is surrounded by people he does not
know and suggested that the government might have been hijacked from
him, a sentiment shared by the president of the Nigerian senate, Bukola
Saraki.
Saraki had on June 27, 2016, claimed that there was a cabal in the
Federal Government that had taken over the rein of government from
President Buhari.
But the president has discounted Mrs Buhari’s sentiments. “So I claim
superior knowledge over her and the rest of the opposition because in
the end I have succeeded,” he said.
“It’s not easy to satisfy the whole Nigerian opposition parties or to participate in the government.”
