BBC Hausa: It has been One and a half years since President Muhammadu Buhari came into power, a lot of people are expressing their unhappiness over the way few acquaintance of the President have hijacked power while neglecting people that work for his success. Like we have promised, here is how the interview with Aisha Buhari and Naziru Maka\u2019ilu from Abuja goes.
\nBBC Hausa: People have goodwill towards President Muhammadu Buhari, especially looking at the things he did before, but since coming into power things have not been working the way they should, what do you think is the cause?
\nAisha Buhari: \u00a0I am not a government official, but in my opinion as a woman, a mother, what I think is, it is well known that the first 4 years are not going to be easy. We are just starting, we have not finished. Some people that worked for the government have been appointed. But those heading government agencies, you can find one fighting his state governor, they contested together during election, one in APC while the other in PDP.
\nBBC Hausa: Who are those doing these kinds of things?
\nAisha Buhari: Everybody knows them. Those people should know that people voted singly. Even Buhari too had one vote. Nobody voted 5 times. \u00a015.429 Million People. That one that people are thinking too, he had only some 2 or 3 people. I am pleading to them to have the people at heart and embrace everybody so that we can all move together. Not even now in 2016 or 17, lot of people are creating divisions within the APC, which is our source of concern. They think they have worked for the government while those appointed, some of them had no voter\u2019s cards. What I fear is uprising of 15.4 million people.
\nBBC Hausa: Is the President aware some people are subverting his government?
\nAisha Buhari: Whether he knows or he does not, those that voted for him knows.
\nBBC Hausa: But you are the most closest to him, did you tell him?
\nAisha Buhari: There is nothing I can tell him, he is seeing things himself. Out of the people he has appointed, take 50, 45 of them I don\u2019t know them. Perhaps he doesn\u2019t know them too. I have been living with him for 27 years.
\nBBC Hausa: Do you think there are some people that are dictating to the President things to do, not him?
\nAisha Buhari: That is what I am saying, those that know they don\u2019t have voters card, they should give chance to those that have. They are the ones that struggled and knows what we want to do. Some of them, if you go to a meeting with them, they will tell you, we are not politicians. \u00a0If somebody is wise, they will not accept to take any political office. They didn\u2019t even work for it. Even if you are asked to, you should say it is not my profession. \u00a0Those places not headed by politicians will cause people discontent.
\nBBC Hausa: One would wonder to hear you say some people have hijacked the government without him knowing, but who do you think are those people?
\nAisha Buhari: I don\u2019t know them, I don\u2019t know them. I don\u2019t know them.
\nBBC Hausa: But some people are calling names, saying 2 or 3 are the ones, do you know that as well?
\nAisha Buhari: Yes I agree. Because of those appointed, apart from Fashola, Ameachi and some others, not much, I don\u2019t know them, most of us too don\u2019t know them, and he too does not know them.
\nBBC Hausa: One would wonder that Buhari is not the one in charge knowing him as a person who had leadership experiences, people would not believe.
\nAisha Buhari: Yes it is surprising; nobody thought it is going to be like this. But now that it is so\u2026sometimes when one is doing something wrong without him knowing, but when people talk to them, they should listen. Because in the future, whether he is going to contest or not, it is that same people that would vote for APC. We hope those people don\u2019t come back, and everybody don\u2019t hope so too.
\nBBC Hausa: You said \u201cWhether he is going to contest in the future or not\u201d, has he disclosed it to you whether he is standing or not?
\nAisha Buhari: He didn\u2019t tell me, but I have made up my mind.
