PRESIDENCY MOUNTS PRESSURE ON BBC NOT TO RELEASE AISHA'S INTERVIEW

The BBC Hausa Service is under intense
pressure from President Buhari and
members of his cabinet not to air the
recent interview granted by his wife,
Aisha Buhari, which is due for
broadcast on Saturday, according to
Sahara Reporters.
Buhari is said to have reached out to
his wife, who is currently in London,
to stop granting further interviews
to the media.
In excerpts that have been widely
reported in the media, Mrs. Buhari is
quoted as saying that the President
had ditched those who really worked
for his victory in the 2015 election
and is instead focusing on those that
didn’t participate.
The First Lady also said the President
did not know a majority of his
ministers before appointing them to
office and expressed her concern
that certain individuals are creating
division within the party.
“What I am afraid for them is the
rebellion of 15 million people,” says
Mrs. Buhari at the end of the excerpt
available to the public.
