We’ve all been inundated by the interview granted BBC by the president’s wife which revealed personal and political happenings within the household of the Buharis. In response to the interview, we’ve also heard the president remark that his wife belongs in his kitchen and other rooms in his house. Without mincing words, I make bold to say that the president’s wife has lost much of the respect she used to command by her act and has made a bad situation far worse. On the other hand, the revelation has made my love for the president to increase.

Prior to the election of March 2015, GMB, as he was known then, made unambiguous statement on several occasions that “there won’t be an Office of the First Lady” if he became president. Majority of Nigerians applauded the statement on the strength of what past First Ladies had caused the country. We know of First Ladies who practically ordered appointed ministers around. We saw a First Lady embarrass a sitting governor. We saw many First Ladies having their own multitude of staff. The past First Ladies used to have budget drawn out for their office even though the Constitution of Nigeria has no recognition for such. These are only a few of many anomalies that were done in the name of Office of the First Lady. So, when PMB made the statement then, he clearly wanted to depart from that culture of impunity and Nigerians loved him for it.

In the said interview, Aisha clearly expressed frustrations at not having undue influence on the man appointed by Nigerians to do a job. She obviously is not having enough say on how ministers, DGs and other top government officials are appointed and this has disappointment her a great deal. Just like the Lagos Assembly shamelessly revealed their frustration about PMB not consulting with Tinubu on appointments, Aisha thought it right to express similar frustration but in the worst possible manner.

Let's Examine Key Statements of Her Interview:
1. "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."

This clearly shows Aisha’s disposition to have undue influence on appointments. If not, why does the president need to know those who work for him or the country? What is important is those people’s qualifications and ability to do the job. Why should the appointees be known to Aisha on the strength of being the president’s wife of 27 years? This statement by the president’s wife reveals a lot about why/how the past First Ladies and their husbands appointed incompetent political jobbers to positions.

2. "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."

If anything, this is a positive on the part of the president. This simply means “no one needs to lobby for an appointment under Buhari once they’re qualified to do the job”. Won’t any reasonable being love the man?

3. "He is yet to tell me but I have decided as his wife, that if things continue like this up to 2019, I will not go out and campaign again and ask any woman to vote like I did before. I will never do it again."

This is about the most ridiculous of all her statements! It smells arrogance and pompousness. Who makes who? Who is known in the political arena? It is because of Muhammadu Buhari that we got to know Aisha Buhari. It is Muhammadu Buhari that’s the politician and not Aisha Buhari. Buhari won the last election not because his Aisha was on the campaign train even though she might have swayed a few voters. In fact, report had it that PMB was reluctant to allow Aisha join the campaign train but for Tinubu’s intervention. So, it is overestimation of her contribution to her husband’s success at the polls to make this statement because she has no political structure or clout to wield such influence.

As I said earlier, PMB by this development has earned further respect from me and many like me. He has proved over and over that he cannot be dictated to whether you are a Tinubu, Obasanjo or even the person who many would have thought could be used to get him – Aisha his wife and mother of four of his children. PMB has once again proved to be a man of principle and high moral standards! This is the kind of leader Nigeria needs to get out of the mess bestowed on us by undue interference from those close to past presidents.

PMB’s “Aisha Belongs to My Kitchen” Comment
As unnecessary as the response from the president might seem, one has to put himself in a position of a man, the president of the most populous black nation on earth, whose wife has become rebellious and a political foe (frenemy sort of) ready to crash the castle built over many years. I must even commend him for finding the strength to beam with laughter when answering question on his wife’s interview.
The president’s comment at that time couldn’t have been better worded to a wife who behaved with arrogance and insubordination. To make it clear to the bigots and hypocrites, a wife’s primary place is in the kitchen and her husband’s home. Any and every other duty is secondary to that.

Yes, our wives are educated, work and participate in governance and Aisha Buhari’s case is no different as she’s known to have been educated by the same man she’s trying hard to destroy now. We all know Aisha had a beauty salon/spa and a few other businesses before PMB became president. PMB has appointed a few women into high position in his administration. We also know that his daughters are educated. Clearly, all these are a proof that the president is not someone who does not believe in women’s ability to be equal to that of men in every aspect of life.
However, if a woman thinks she has a right to have undue and unwanted influence in a man’s job/life, there is nothing wrong in putting such women where they primarily belong - the kitchen and other rooms.

What Aisha did is capable of ruining her marriage and she will be the ultimate loser at the end of it. If that happens, all those urging her on will not be there to console her or offer any help. I could have asked her to ask PMB’s first wife (Safinatu of blessed memory) if she regretted accepting money from IBB who was holding her husband in a cell. Surely, she must have regretted her action one way or the other.

Civil contribution is appreciated even though I know more than half here are frustrated one way or the other.

PassingShot:
Just as I asked someone like you but couldn't answer, let me see if you're a bit more intelligent. If Aisha was part of the cabal having powerful influence on the president, would she have come out to say what she said? Prove you're smart by replying with an answer, please.

PassingShot:
You're funny.
You say Aisha did that for the nation? That submission is very laughable walahi.

If she did it for the nation, it won't be ".... I also don't know them despite being his wife of 27 years".

If your wife behaves half manner as this, I believe you'll send her packing.

PassingShot:
I agree with all except the last paragraph. We all know how PEJ imposed candidates on some states. We saw how she grabbed microphone away from Amaechi. She was the synonym to the word "overbearing"

PassingShot:
No matter how you put it, the president will decide who and who forms the cabal around him. If a man excludes his wife from such circle, he surely has his reason.

And if Aisha saw it right to do what she did, PMB was right to tell her in the open what she must have told her in the bedroom - that she belongs in his kitchen and not in his job.

realteejay:
she truely got it all wrong! yes, naija's struggling but virtually all her arguments and point sound weird to me. now i see the need to allign with popular saying that there's difference btween knowledge and wisdom! no matter how knowlegeable a woman seems, by devine arrangement, she'l 4eva be inferior in wisdom to a man . mean a 'a real man'! not most of u here that ur moms gene's the dominant in ur system. na God save me o! wey i resemble my father through and through. ride on pmb, no shaking. #teamnaijawillsoonbegreatagain.

PassingShot:
Saying she doesn't know the people appointed gave her away as being used. Does she need to know them? Think it deep!

PassingShot:
Bring out her words that exposed her husband's incompetence?

And tell us if your own primary place in your husband's house (if you ever get married) is not in the kitchen.

ASL33:
She said bubu don't know then either. It means its either Kyari or the Mamman Duara appoints them. Which clearly shows that bubu is not the one in charge.

arewafederation:
The Crux of the matter here is that Aisha is FRUSTRATED for not being allowed to meddle into the political affairs of the Presidency.

Does she think governance is a family and friends affair that she needs to know all the president's appointees?

But rather some morons who just few months ago were calling for her head for her alleged involvement in halliburton case by the lunatic Fayose are today calling her the most upright woman.... Isn't that hypocrisy?

rottennaija:
I don't want to lose my respect for Aisha at the moment. But she got it all wrong. If I were her, I would have retracted her statements and apologise.

PassingShot:
Aisha was only brought into politics during the last campaign. Not once before 2015 election she was part of any of PMB's political campaigns. She was not part of his politics. So, this deflates your argument.

Realdeals:
One thing I'm sure of is that Aisha Buhari is regretting the outcome of the interview.

Passingshot what if some people are not happy about the lack of resignation or arrest especially after investigations exposed key players in this administration? What if some people including Aisha that Patience hasn't been arrested yet or her door broken down even after the recent revelations?

But I doubt if the world will see it so. The president is a man.

Frustration is an understatement. Maybe Aisha want to overthrow her husband in some kind of 'coup' or something like that. I was discussing this Aisha drama with my wife some hours ago, and the woman was all supportive of Aisha. Funny. I just had to tell her I don't like overambitious women and the woman began to foam in the mouth.


If people will call a spade what it is, seriously overambitious women like Aisha are no good for a man, especially a man with so much power and influence.

DesChyko:
Sitting beside a woman in that interview.

That woman commands the respect of World Leaders. He should have at least showed some decency. Honestly, it would require some heavy damage control to restore his image as a 'fair' president in gender matters.

Your audience should determine your countenance in official matters. We all know that is a traditional Nigerian lifestyle but if he was interested in giving her a lecture, he should have done so with purpose, not aloof as if he had no regard whatsoever for the sex of the personnel beside him.

Passing shot, may God continue to bless you for this wonderful piece. I careless about what disgruntled elements on this forum have been saying or will eventually say, but what people like you, modath, seunmsg, omenka, fulanimafia, quota system etc say is something I take very serious and with great concern. I even thought I was the only person who finds Aisha's outburst very disgusting and ludicrous, but thank God am not alone on this.

I'm still bemused by that silly woman's arrogancy and outright pompousness. Like seriously!!! Who the hell does she thinks she is? A president, your husband have to consult you before he makes his appointments? Aisha is very silly and I hope buhari will tame the nonentity once and for all.

Buhari knows the woman very well and that's the main reason he never wanted the office of the 1st lady in the first place. Now that she has achieved her stupid goal, what will be next for her? Can you believe that what she did was so big that local televisions and newspapers over here are carrying the news. Funny indeed.


Anyway, Mrs modath, you haven't made any comment regarding this buhari/Aisha saga. I'm looking forward to read your comment.
