Where is Aisha Buhari, wife of
the president?
She has not been campaigning
along with President Muhammadu in his re-election bid and this has raised
concern as to her whereabouts.
But news report has it that she is currently abroad for medical reasons, although her office has refused to
confirm or deny the speculation.
When contacted, Suleiman
Haruna, media aide to the president’s wife, he said he did not have any
comments.
“Honestly, honestly, I don’t have
any comment on that. People have been calling me. I don’t have any comment on
that,” Haruna said.
A presidency source on Wednesday explained that the president’s wife has not been
seen campaigning for her husband “because she is ill”.
“For about two weeks now, you
will observe that the president’s wife has not been campaigning. She is ill and
she has travelled abroad for treatment,” the source said.
It was gathered that she
will be back by Monday.
Earlier in the month, Buhari’s
wife set up a 700-member team for her husband’s second term bid.
The large team, mainly made up of
women, was inaugurated by the president on January 4 at Aso Rock.
At the event, she explained that
her team would serve as a support to the main campaign council co-chaired by
Bola Tinubu, former Lagos governor and a national leader of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
“It will operate as a sister body
with necessary legwork and outreach and will mobilise women and youths across
the country,” the president’s wife said.
She then led her team to a rally
in Kano state on January 5.
But that was about the last time
she was seen in public working for her husband’s reelection bid.
On January 12, her team arrived
Owerri, Imo state, to campaign but she was absent.
Aisha was represented by Dolapo,
co-chairperson of the team and wife to Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
Although she has been critical of
some Buhari’s inner circle, she has openly supported her husband’s quest for a
second term in office.
