Silence as Aisha Buhari returns to Nigeria

By Terhemba Daka, Abuja

19 March 2021 | 4:05 am

Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari, has returned to Nigeria, ending months of speculations by citizens on her whereabouts.

This came as the Presidency, yesterday, kept mum over trending reports on her.

There was, however, no official confirmation of her return at press time, but sources told The Guardian that the First Lady returned to her official residence in Presidential Villa, Abuja after six months of sojourn in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Her Senior Special Assistant on Media, Aliyu Abdullahi, declined comments when contacted.

Also, Sulaiman Haruna, a media aide in the office of the First Lady, neither picked his calls nor responded to the text message sent to his mobile line.

Hajia Buhari made her last public appearance in September 2020 during the wedding of her daughter, Hanan.
