| President Buhari and his wife, Aisha Buhari. |
Nigeria's First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has vowed not to campaign for her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari if the current situation in the country does not change before then.
Mrs Aisha Buhari disclosed this in an interview with BBC, according to her, the president “does not know” most of the top officials he has appointed, and that the government had been hijacked by some persons deciding presidential appointments.
“He is yet to tell me but I have decided as his wife, that if things continue like this up to 2019, I will not go out and campaign again and ask any woman to vote like I did before. I will never do it again.” She was quoted.
When asked on what she regarded as the government’s major achievement, she said it was to improve security in the north-east where militant Islamist group Boko Haram has waged an insurgency since 2009.
“No-one is complaining about being attacked in their own homes. Thankfully everyone can walk around freely, go to places of worship, etc. Even kids in Maiduguri have returned to schools,”
She further stress that people who did not share the vision of the ruling APC, were now appointed to top posts because of the influence a “few people” wield.
“Some people are sitting down in their homes folding their arms only for them to be called to come and head an agency or a ministerial position.”
Asked to name those who had ‘hijacked’ her husband’s government, she refused, saying:
“You will know them if you watch television.” On whether the president was in charge, she said: “That is left for the people to decide.” she added.
