Aisha, the wife of president Muhammadu Buhari has backed the Kaduna State Governor, Nasri El-Rufai, up on the revelation that some elements in the Villa are working against the foremost presidential candidate in the country and national leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the upcoming general elections.
Aisha Buhari not only reposted the video wherein El-Rufai had made the revelation on Wednesday Morning when he appeared on Channels TV’s Sunrise programme but captioned it with the hashtag #LonglivethefederalrepublicofNigeria on her Instagram page.
Her reaction was a clear indication of her backing of El-Rufai’s revelation and also to exonerate herself as she has been a prominent supporter of Tinubu right from time.
Although, her reaction has further shown that all is not well in Aso Rock as there seems to be conflicting interest about who succeeds Buhari.
From a source working with the wife of the president, she claimed that a lot is not well with APC, particularly from those in the presidency who have begun feeling uneasy about their fate once Buhari’s tenure is over and that the caucus of the cabal, wants to do everything to jeopardize chances of the ruling party in 2023.
As gathered by Theliberationnews, the source, who pleaded anonymity claimed that the wife of the president had on several occasions raised alarm against the cabal who have continued frustrating the system, to suit their personal interest similar to their plot against APC presidential candidate and his running mate, Kassim Shetimma.
The source stated that Aisha Buhari wants to ensure that her husband leaves a good legacy after his tenure elapses but the cabal was always trying to outsmart the immediate family of the president by manipulating Buhari’s decisions on both national matters and party affairs.
The president’s wife’s aide noted that the element in Aso Rock had on several occasions denied her boss access to Villa affairs even on issues concerning the first family as well as those that can, directly and indirectly, mother and children as well as the entire Nigerians.
She explained that her boss’ position on El-Rufai’s interview showed her yearning over the years for how some powerful in the villa have been frustrating efforts to make Nigeria better and that all their actions were for individual interests.
According to her, the video repost on Aisha Buhari’s social media accounts convincingly established that she is not in support of the current state of activities in the Villa and all efforts to get the cabal to turn a new leaf and work for the benefit of the public did not yield any result.
“My boss, you will recall, had made many public comments, expressing her displeasure over issues affecting the development of the country. And after this comment, the cabal sees her as one that is against them in actualizing their desired interests.
“Meanwhile, her stance is not that but to ensure the country becomes better for everyone living in it irrespective of their status in the country because doing such would make everyone understand that they are equal before the government.
“So, you see that video was just another way for her to draw the public’s attention to the actions of the cabal who have taken over activities at the Presidential Villa with the major aim of suiting their personal interest.
Aisha Buhari’s post came hours after El-Rufai exposed the activities of the cabal in the presidency and their plans to ensure that Tinubu does not become Buhari’s successor during the upcoming election.
The Kaduna state’s governor noted that the president was surrounded by people that were only interested in their personal gains and not working for the APC to remain in office after Buhari’s tenure elapsed.
