In a shocking revelation, the President's wife, Mrs Aisha Buhari has said she may not support her husband's re-election in 2019.
She said unless the President retakes his
government from a "few people" who are controlling it, he may lose her
backing in the next polls.
Speaking in a BBC interview, she revealed
that her husband "does not know" most of the top officials in his
government. She said a 'powerful caucus' is behind the presidential
appointments.
"The president does not know 45 out of
50, for example, of the people he appointed and I don't know them
either, despite being his wife of 27 years," Aisha Buhari said.
She said people who have been appointed to
top positions do not even share the vision of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) but they got the appointments because of the influence a
select few 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," she said.
When asked to mention names of those who
have hijacked the Buhari administration, she said: "You will know them
if you watch television."
She noted that although the President has
not made his 2019 ambition known to her, she will not campaign for him
if he decides to run.
"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," Mrs Buhari vowed.
