Nigeria’s First Lady Says She May Not Support President Buhari In Next Election; Her Reasons Will Shock You!

Nigeria’s First Lady,
Aisha Buhari, has warned
her husband, President
Muhammadu Buhari that
she is likely not to support
him in the 2019 elections,
for a second tenure.
Speaking in a BBC
interview with Naziru
Mikailu, the wife of the
Nigerian
President revealed that the
county’s government has
been hijacked by a “few
people” who are behind
presidential appointments.
Aisha Buhari lamented
over several factors
surrounding
the unprecedented fall in
the country’s economy
which is said to be in
recession. She revealed
that the President himself
does not even know most
of the top officials he has
appointed. According to
Nigeria’s First Lady,




She continued that most
of these appointees do not
share the vision of his
party, the All Progressives
Congress (APC), and as a
result; are destroying the
supposed legacy they are
meant to leave
behind. She
however, mentioned the
improvement of security in
the north-east of Nigeria,
as her husband’s major
achievement.

President Muhammadu
Buhari was elected in
2015 with the promise of
bringing about a change,
and specifically to tackle
corruption and nepotism in
government. But the
reverse has since been
the case in Nigeria,
considering the profound
depreciation of the
economy, which has
literally brought the people
to tears.

When asked to name
those who had hijacked
the government, the First
Lady refused calling
names but rather, told the
interviewer to watch out
for them on the TV.
She warned that although
her husband has not told
her if he would contest in
the 2019 election, she may
not back him unless he
‘shakes up’ his
government. She stressed
that if things continue the
way they are up to 2019,
she will not go out and
campaign again, asking
any woman to vote like
she did before.
Her interview has sparked
up controversies among
political stakeholders.
Authorities had tried
preventing BBC from
airing the controversial
interview, but the service
had maintained the only
way it will not air the
interview is for the
interviewee, Aisha Buhari,
to decide against it.
