The Presidency is believed to be mounting pressure on BBC Hausa Service not to air the full interview granted by his wife, Aisha Buhari, in which she said that people who worked for her husband’s election victory have been sidelined by opportunity grabbers. The interview is due for broadcast on Saturday.
Also Buhari has told his wife, who is currently in London, to stop granting further interviews to the media, SaharaReporters reports.
In the interview, which is causing nervousness to the president and his kitchen cabinet, the First Lady lamented that her husband is surrounded by opportunists. According to her, those who really worked for her husband’s victory in the 2015 election had been sidelined by those that didn’t do anything.
“This worries us a lot now. Because they believe they are the ones who suffered, but are no where today.
“Those who didn’t do anything, who don’t even have voters’ cards are the ones in position, doing everything,” Aisha said.
It is now an open secret that neither the president’s nephew, Mamman Daura nor his Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari voted for Buhari in the last election as they neither possed a voter’s card nor were they card-carrying members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
