Aisha, the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, has shared the video of Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, who claimed that some government officials in the Presidential Villa in Abuja are working against the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, ahead of the 2023 general election.
El-Rufai, while speaking in an interview on Channels Television on Wednesday, said the people he described as “elements” are working against the APC because their preferred presidential candidate failed to clinch the party’s ticket.
“I believe there are elements in the Villa that want us to lose the elections because they didn’t get their way.

“They had their candidate and their candidate didn’t win the primaries; they are still trying to get us to lose the elections and they are hiding behind the president’s desire to do what he thinks is right,” the governor had said.
However, Aisha, on Wednesday afternoon, shared the video on her verified Instagram account with the hashtag #longlivethefederalrepublicofnigeria.
The First Lady, in 2016, said President Buhari’s administration had been hijacked by a cabal who are “behind presidential appointments”.
Aisha, in an interview with BBC, added that although over 15 million Nigerians voted for Buhari in 2015, “only two or three persons have since taken control of the government”.
The First Lady, however, failed to disclose the identity of the individuals.
