Aisha Buhari, the first lady of Nigeria, has spoken out about how she has publicly criticized some of her husband’s policies.
Aisha’s admission comes just a few days before President Muhammadu Buhari, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), transfers power to Bola Tinubu on May 29, 2023.
In an interview with Newsmen, Aisha gave an explanation of the reasons behind her frank remarks, claiming that she aired her criticism to protect the name of her family and to support her husband.

“For me, any decision that is taken for the interest of one person and not for the general public’s interests, I normally step aside and go against it,” the First Lady responded when asked about being a vocal critic in the Villa.
“Because they did not know how we came in, we came in because of the love Nigerian people have for my husband, the trust, you know, and then after coming in, the expectations. So, I told myself we cannot afford that, I just knew my husband needed help.”
Speaking on the criticising being aimed at helping her husband, Aisha said, “Yes, to help us maintain the name that we came in with. Right? That is why I am here as a First Lady and as a wife.
“I don’t like people who want to make money to rubbish the image of the family, the hard-earned name of my husband, you know, and then we keep quiet and look at the person. So that’s why I normally step in and speak up.”
