President Muhammadu Buhari has challenged his wife, Aisha, and
others who allege that there is a cabal controlling his government, to show
evidence of such.
Aisha had on more than
one occasion alleges that a few people were running her husband’s government,
and determining what happens. She had once stated that those her husband gave
certain appointments were alien to her and those who supported him to win the
elections. But the president had responded that she belonged in the ‘kitchen
and the other room’. The First Lady has also recently stated that two men were
the ones in charge of the government, and that they were the ones frustrating
her husband from delivering the dividends of democracy to Nigerians.
But President Buhari during an interview
with the Voice of America, Hausa, challenged his wife and others claiming the
existence of such a cabal to show evidence. He was asked, “Have you heard of
the word cabal? People have been alleging that there are some few people in
charge of this administration, that you are not the one in charge. Even your
wife said something about this recently, what do you have to say about this?”
Responding, Buhari
said “That’s her business. This shows I am a real democrat. What they are
saying is different from what is happening. They should come out and say those
things they feel was staged managed by the cabal. What the cabal force to me to
do. They should mention just one thing.”
