Earlier in the interview, Abdullahi faulted the anchor, Kayode Okikiolu for ambushing him with a question on the First Lady’s whereabouts.
“I am sorry, Kayode, this is not part of what I was actually invited here to discuss in your studio.
“I will not be speaking on that because it is not part of what we agreed for me to come and discuss. So, let us leave that issue out of the interview please,” he said.
Aisha Buhari was said to have moved to Dubai in September, claiming that the Aso Rock Villa was no longer secure for her family following a shooting incident there.
