BREAKING; MY WIFE BELONGS TO MY KITCHEN -- BUHARI INSISTS
President Muhammadu Buhari has maintained that his wife, Aisha, wife belongs in the kitchen, saying she should stay out of politics.
The president held his ground when he was asked to clarify his earlier comments by German broadcaster, Deutsche Welle.
“I am sure you have a house. You know where your kitchen is. You know where your living room is. And I believe your wife looks after all that even if she’s working,” Mr. Buhari said when the interviewer, Phil Gayle, asked him to clarify his controversial comments.
The president’s comment counters the
previous explanation by his media aide, Garba Shehu, who tried to play down the remarks.
Mr. Shehu had, hours after Mr. Buhari made the statement at a press briefing in Berlin, said the president was only joking.
“My friends, can’t a leader get a sense (of) humour anymore? Mr. President laughed before that statement was made,” Mr. Shehu said as the comments drew worldwide condemnation. “He was obviously throwing a banter.”
But when Mr. Gayle asked Mr. Buhari if “that is your wife’s function?”
The president answered: “Yes, to look after me”.
