Do not broadcast Aisha Buhari's interview Presidency mount pressure on BBC Hausa radio

Presidency mounts pressure on BBC Hausa Service not to broadcast Aisha Buhari's revealing interview..
The BBC Hausa Service is under intense pressure from President Buhari and members of his cabinet not to air the recent interview granted by his wife, Aisha Buhari, which is due for broadcast on Saturday, according to Sahara Reporters.
 Buhari is said to have reached out to his wife, who is currently in London, to stop granting further interviews to the media.
In excerpts that have been widely reported in the media, Mrs. Buhari is quoted as saying that the President had ditched those who really worked for his victory in the 2015 election and is instead focusing on those that didn't participate.

 The First Lady also said the President did not know a majority of his ministers before appointing them to office and expressed her concern that certain individuals are creating division within the party.
"What I am afraid for them is the rebellion of 15 million people," says Mrs. Buhari at the end of the excerpt available to the public.
Read excerpts from the interview
Wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari has said that some individuals have started creating division among members of the APC. Mrs Buhari stated this in an interview with the Hausa Service of the BBC which was partially aired today.
“This worries us a lot now. Because they believe they are the ones who suffered, but are no where today. Those who didn’t do anything who don’t even have voters’ card are the ones in position, doing everything."
According to Daily Trust, a part of the interview quoted the wife of the president as saying
“What I am afraid for them is the rebellion of 15 million people," a reference to the number of the people who voted the president into power.
Asked whether the president knows those causing the problems for his government, Aisha Buhari said:
“Whether he knows or he doesn’t know, those who voted for him know. There is nothing I will tell him. He can see. Among all the people he selected, if he is asked among 50 people, he doesn’t know 45. I don’t know them despite staying with him for 25 years."
The BBC will air the interview in full later.
