Mrs Buhari was speaking on Journalists Hangout, a programme on Television Continental (TVC) she featured on Friday.
She said they are busy tending to national issues, the reason she keeps “talking”.
Asked if she gets to raise some of these matters with the president during “pillow talk” the First Lady said: “There is no pillow in the villa.”
With a smile she added: “There is no pillow in the villa. We are always busy listening to one story or another. I think the people he put in the cabinet should just sit up and do the needful.”
Also asked “not even in the other room? ”, an allusion to her husband’s statement in 2016 that “she belongs in my kitchen and my living room and the other room,” Aisha gave an emphatic “no”.
The First Lady noted that their tight schedule has deprived them of such moments.
She added that if members of the cabinet carried out their responsibilities as expected, then she and her husband can rest, and she would not have to keep on commenting on issues.
“That is why it is not good to have god-fatherism.
“We just have to choose the right people to be at the right place so we could rest, and the first lady would stop talking,” Aisha said.
