Nigeria’s First Lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, has returned to the
country
two months after she left for the United Kingdom for what was regarded
as a holiday.
This came on the heels of an alleged wedding slated for last Saturday
between President Muhammadu Buhari and Hajiya Sadiya Umar Farouq,
recently appointed by the former to head the Ministry of Humanitarian
Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social
Development
Mrs. Buhari arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport,
Abuja, at about 4:30 am via a British Airways flight and was received
by wives of present and former governors as well as other friends.
The president’s wife had announced her coming back to the country last
night while leaving London, at about 8:56 pm.
Making the announcement on her Twitter handle, @AishaMBuhari, the
first lady said Mrs. Modupe Oguntade, the wife of Nigeria’s High
Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Retired Justice George Oguntade,
was seeing her off.
Speaking to reporters on arrival, Mrs. Buhari said she was happy to be
home after a well-deserved rest.
She confirmed that she was fully rejuvenated to continue the work of
improving the health and well-being of women, children, and other
vulnerable Nigerians.
On why she stayed away for so long, a statement by her Special Assistant Media, Olabisi Olumide-Ajayi said: “Before the advent of this administration it had always been the custom for her to take a long vacation with her children but since the President was elected and due to exigencies of duty it has not been possible.
“However this year she decided to break the jinx and spend time with them, especially since Mr. President has graciously appointed Special Advisers and Personal assistants to her.”
Mrs. Buhari also thanked all Nigerians for their support and encouragement.
She said she was ready to continue her work with women and children
Present at the airport to receive her were the First Lady of Kogi, Mrs. Rasheedat Bello; Wife of former Governor of Nassarawa state, Mrs. Mairo Al Makura, Chairperson of National centre for Women Development Joy Gene Nunieh; Wife of Minister for Niger Delta Affairs Mrs. Ekaetae Unoma Godswill Akpabio; D.G.
