Washington Post wrote an article on President Buhari’s recent
comment that his wife, Aisha Buhari, belongs to his Kitchen. Read it below…

If you think Donald Trump has problems, consider those of Nigerian
President Muhammadu Buhari. Elected last year as a no-nonsense candidate
to clean up Africa’s biggest democracy, his popularity has fallen amid
various spiraling crises — a faltering economy, a deadly insurgency, a
devastating famine. And now, even his wife is skeptical.

In an interview with the BBC’s Hausa language service, Nigerian first
lady Aisha Buhari suggested that she might not back her husband’s
potential reelection in 2019 if he didn’t shake up his government.
Without naming names, she said a whole host of people in senior
ministerial posts didn’t share her husband’s values or the vision of the
ruling party. The first lady’s admission reinforces accusations made by
critics that Buhari’s government has been hijacked a cabal operating
behind the scenes.

“The president does not know 45 out of 50 of the people he appointed and
I don’t know them either, despite being his wife of 27 years,” she
said. “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.”

According to the BBC, some in Nigeria speculate that the first lady went
this route after her own chosen figures did not win the posts they
desired in government. Whatever the case, it deepens the gloom around
Buhari’s presidency, which he won in part on a platform that promised an
end to nepotism and cronyism in the country.

Then came Buhari’s response. Speaking to reporters while on a trip to
Germany, the Nigerian president offered up a tasteless jibe: “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 said.
His remarks were made in front of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who according to reports, glared and then, briefly, laughed.
