Buhari Reacts To Wife’s Claims That His Administration Is Under Cabals

Allegation by Aisha Buhari, President Muhammadu Buhari‘s wife, that his government has been hijacked by cabals has been discarded by the president who asked her to provide evidence to her claims.

Severally, the president’s wife had said some people are running her husband’s administration at the expense of Nigeria who brought it into power.

Aisha while speaking at a leadership summit in Abuja, at the beginning of the year, challenged Nigerians to fight the “two or three people who have dominated this government”.

“Our votes were 15.4 million in the last elections and after that only for us to be dominated by two people… this is totally unacceptable,” she had said.

“If 15.4 million people can bring in a government and only for the government to be dominated by two people or three people, where are the men of Nigeria? Where are the Nigerian men? What are you doing? Instead of them to come together and fight them, they keep visiting them one after the other licking their shoes (I’m sorry to use those words).”

However, while speaking in an interview with the Voice of America, Buhari said that is her business.

He also asked every other people making such evidence to provide proofs to their claims.

“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?” the journalist asked him.

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.”
