First Lady of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari has stated that “Bad People” have taken over the country from those who are “supposed to be in charge”.
Aisha Buhari disclosed this during a telephone interview on TVC’s Journalists Hangout.
She alleged that people who are supposed to be in charge of the country have kept mute amd allowed some people to use social media in attempts to bring down the government.
She also revealed that fake news has caused her distress as she cited the fake news of President Buhari’s death and her being replaced with a second wife.
“I didn’t take it seriously because even my husband didn’t know what was happening,” she said of the rumoured marriage.
“Both of us didn’t know what was happening; they just decided to bombard social media with it. They are now taking to social media to bring down the government itself.
“I think that we should not allow people that are nothing to override the innocent; I don’t know why people that are supposed to be in charge should remain mute while bad people take over the country from us. It is impossible and totally unacceptable.”
She also touched on the issue of presidential aides failing to take action.
“Whenever they (presidential aides) are supposed to take action against the offenders, or to take action or to take charge or be in control, or caution people, they keep mute,” she said.
“But when it comes to unnecessary things, people will start talking of the presidency. A typical example is what happened after the election in Bayelsa state. When the PDP came out and said they would … suspend His Excellency, Goodluck Jonathan, the former president, for doing wrong or something like that.
“I have seen no reason why (the) presidency should come out and say that they were shocked to hear that. Is it their business? Are they PDP members? Is president Jonathan a member of our party? What does that have to do with the presidency?”
