:03:09. > :03:14.Clinton's greatest assets right now. Barack Obama is extremely popular,
:03:15. > :03:20.particularly for a president who has been in 480 times. Generally they
:03:21. > :03:25.tend to be lower it in likeability. His wife is even higher up than they
:03:26. > :03:31.are making a case for Obama's legacy. He was trying to rally
:03:32. > :03:35.debase and get them to turn out. That is the key, minority voters and
:03:36. > :03:40.young voters still love him and his goal over the next few weeks is to
:03:41. > :03:44.get them to show up at the polls. Looking at the Republican side,
:03:45. > :03:49.Donald Trump is due to speak shortly. He has promised new
:03:50. > :03:53.evidence. Are we likely to see another three weeks of purely
:03:54. > :03:58.personal attack and counterattack going forehead? That is how it is
:03:59. > :04:02.looking right now. Ever since that tape came out last Friday that had
:04:03. > :04:08.Donald Trump making off-colour comments about harassing women
:04:09. > :04:14.sexually. He said during the debate that this was just words. He opened
:04:15. > :04:18.himself up to this parade of women coming forward saying he made
:04:19. > :04:25.unwelcome sexual advances towards them. We are not done seeing those.
:04:26. > :04:29.We got another one today. His response is to go on the attack and
:04:30. > :04:37.it looks like he's going to stick to that thank you. Later in the
:04:38. > :04:42.programme we are reporting from the Key state of all higher will. No
:04:43. > :04:45.Republican ever has made it to the White House and not one that's it

:04:51. > :04:52.but Aisha Buhari has warned she might not back him
:04:53. > :04:54.again - unless he shakes President Muhammadu Buhari
:04:55. > :04:57.promised to tackle corruption and nepotism when he came
:04:58. > :05:00.to power but according to his wife he doesn't know most
:05:01. > :05:02.of his top officials. Speaking to the BBC Aisha Buhari
:05:03. > :05:05.said it was time her husband Well since then, President Buhari
:05:06. > :05:08.has shot back at his wife's comments telling her where,
:05:09. > :05:15.in his opinion, she belongs. I don't know which party my wife
:05:16. > :05:19.belongs to, but she belongs to my kitchen and my living
:05:20. > :05:23.room and the other room. I hope my wife will remember that
:05:24. > :05:29.I was in the field for The first time, I managed to succeed
:05:30. > :05:41.and the first three times I ended up So I claim superior knowledge of her
:05:42. > :05:51.and the rest of the opposition, because in the end,
:05:52. > :05:55.I have succeeded. The BBC bureau chief in Abuja,
:05:56. > :05:58.Naziru Mikailu, is the journalist who he did the original interview
:05:59. > :06:00.with Mrs Buhari. I spoke with him a short time
:06:01. > :06:03.earlier and asked him how Mr Buhari's response has been
:06:04. > :06:17.received in Nigeria. How is this playing out in Nigeria?
:06:18. > :06:18.What are the views on what he had to say in retaliation to what his wife
:06:19. > :06:24.said? There have been angry
:06:25. > :06:25.reactions from Nigerians, For example, we have people
:06:26. > :06:29.comparing him with US Republican We also have some people calling his
:06:30. > :06:38.comments this graceful and We also have some people
:06:39. > :06:41.calling his comments disgraceful and We also have people
:06:42. > :06:44.trying to say that the president might be a good
:06:45. > :06:54.leader, but a bad husband. People are saying, where was she
:06:55. > :07:00.when he was campaigning? Was she in the kitchen or the other room? Some
:07:01. > :07:04.people say that he was joking. In the last few minutes, the
:07:05. > :07:09.President's 's spokesman has said that the president was joking when
:07:10. > :07:22.he said his wife belongs to the kitchen. He wasn't trying to lower
:07:23. > :07:30.her status at all. Why has she doesn't make these comments so now?
:07:31. > :07:36.I think since the Government was formed and the president came into
:07:37. > :07:40.power following the main opposition parties and I think that left a
:07:41. > :07:46.vacuum within the Government with many people feeling that they have
:07:47. > :07:51.not been taken on board and the President's wife felt it was time to
:07:52. > :07:55.come out and speak hoping that her intervention would force the
:07:56. > :08:01.president to make some changes and so that the party will remain in
:08:02. > :08:05.unity and move forward, but it appears that the president is not
:08:06. > :08:13.willing to do that. Thank you for joining us.

:08:47. > :09:00.happiness. Happiness for me to get my friends back. You must've thought
:09:01. > :09:04.that they would never come back? Yes, definitely. I was thinking they
:09:05. > :09:11.would never come back. Maybe they were dead by now, but everyday I had
:09:12. > :09:16.dreams about them that they came back. Of the girls released, did you
:09:17. > :09:28.recognise some of their names? Did you recognise some of them from TV?
:09:29. > :09:36.Yes. I recognised Agnes. She was a close friend? Yes. What was the
:09:37. > :09:40.first thing you wanted to tell them? I wanted to tell them that what had
:09:41. > :09:48.happened, it has already happened. They have to forget it all. It has
:09:49. > :09:53.already passed. They have to forget everything so that they will think
:09:54. > :09:58.about their future. They will not continue in that situation that they
:09:59. > :10:05.are in. We have never forgot the rest, because this is only 21 at our
