While speaking with journalists in Germany, President Muhammadu Buhari, who is currently in the country on an official visit, has responded to an interview his wife, Aisha granted the BBC, where she said that her husband’s government had been hijacked by those who did not labour to put him there.

We had earlier reported that in an exclusive interview with BBC Hausa service , the wife of the president, Aisha, also said that she might not support her husband under the present circumstances if he seeks re-election in 2019.

"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.

"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," Mrs Aisha was quoted to have told BBC.

According to TheCable News, while reacting to his wife’s comments to newsmen in Germany the president who is on a three-day visit to the country, said;

“I don’t know which party my wife belongs to, but she belongs to my kitchen and my living room and the other room,” he joked.

“I claim superior knowledge over her and the rest of the opposition, because in the end I have succeeded. It is not easy to satisfy the whole Nigerian opposition parties or to participate in the government,” Buhari said.
