Bad people have taken over the country from us – TheNigerialawyer

Aisha Buhari, wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, says “bad
people” have taken over the country from people who are “supposed
to be in charge”.

Aisha said this on Thursday during a phone-in interview on
Television Continental (TVC)’s ‘Journalists Hangout’ programme.

She said it is unacceptable that those who should be in control
of the government have remained mute, while some persons are using
the social media to bring down the government.

She said fake news has caused her some distress particularly
when the president was rumoured to have died, and when he was said
to be taking 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.”

Aisha also accused presidential aides and other government
officials of ignoring issues they should respond to and focusing on
things that the presidency has no business in.

“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?”
