Chairman of the House Committee on Legislative Budget, Timothy Golu, said what Aisha told BBC in the interview was deep and should not be ignored.
“She’s drawing her husbands attention to issues that sycophants around him would not tell him. But she has come out with the truth and is saying it because she loves the husband.
“She is closer to the man (Buhari) more than any other person and since she has voiced this out, the husband should take it and review some of his actions and decisions.
“It will not be good for the President to ignore the complaints from the wife. She has been with him and is disturbed by certain things happening around the husband, so it’s natural for her to talk”, he added.

The lawmaker called on Nigerian women to support Aisha “in her campaign to save Nigeria from the hands of a few selfish individuals”, adding that she decided to speak out in frustration.
