Apparently perturbed by the different shades of interpretations negatively trailing the recent press interviews by President Muhammadu Buhari and his wife, Aisha, Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state has said the public reaction was a joke taken too far.
It will be recalled that the wife of the President last week granted a press interview to Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Cooperation, BBC, where she demanded a rejig of the cabinet, threatening that if nothing was done to better the lot of many impoverished Nigerians, she might not join her husband in the 2019 campaign trails should he decide to run for a second term in office.
But speaking with State House Correspondents, yesterday, in Abuja, Gov. Okorocha, who was present during the conference in Germany having accompanied the President on the visit, said the public had completely misconstrued the statement.
The governor who is also the chairman of ruling All progressives Congress, APC Governors Forum, stated that it would be wrong to believe that the intention of Mrs. Buhari was to pull down her husband’s government.
