Despite the criticisms that have trailed
his comment that his wife, Aisha, belongs to the kitchen and “the other
room,” President Muhammadu Buhari says he stands by his earlier
comment.
He insisted that his wife’s duty was to take care of him, hence, she should stay away from politics.
Buhari said this in an interview he granted Deutsche-Welle’s Phil Gayle shortly before he left Berlin, Germany on Saturday.
The reporter had asked the President to
clarify what he meant by his earlier comment while reacting to an
interview his wife granted the Hausa Service of the BBC in which she
alleged that her husband’s government had been hijacked.
