Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has responded to criticism from his wife by saying she belongs in his kitchen.
On
a visit to Germany, he said: "I don't know which party my wife belongs
to, but she belongs to my kitchen and my living room and the other
room."
Mr Buhari was standing next to Chancellor Angela Merkel, who reportedly glared at him.
Aisha Buhari had said she might not back her husband at the next election unless he got a grip on his government.
Responding
to questions by reporters, Mr Buhari said that having run for president
three times and having succeeded at the fourth attempt, he could "claim
superior knowledge over her".
In an interview with the BBC's Hausa language service, Mrs
Buhari, a businesswoman and activist, suggested her husband's
government had been hijacked by only a "few people", who were behind
presidential appointments.
"The president does not know 45 out of 50 of the people he
appointed and I don't know them either, despite being his wife of 27
years," she said.
