Amid pregnancy rumours, the wife of the President, Muhammadu
Buhari, Aisha, has ordered all members of her staff to proceed on an indefinite
leave.
This was announced in a terse statement on Tuesday by the
Senior Special Adviser to the President on Health and Development Partners in
the First Lady’s office, Mohammed Kamal.
Buhari, 79, was in Turkey with Aisha, 50, between December
16 and 19, 2021 when they attended the 3rd Turkey-Africa Partnership Summit.
Photos of the President’s wife released by the Presidency
after the trip had sparked pregnancy rumours as she was pictured to have
cradled what looked like a bump.
In a statement on Tuesday, Kamal said the First Lady ordered
the members of staff in her office to proceed on indefinite leave and continue
work virtually.
The statement, posted on the verified Instagram handle of
the President’s wife, read, “This serves to inform all members of staff that
the office of the First Lady will be closed for the upcoming festive period of
Christmas and New Year.
“To this end, all staff members are requested to proceed on
leave, until further notice.
“Please note that
official engagements and work can also continue virtually as it was done
previously.
“Her Excellency appreciates and thanks all staff members for
their commitment and hard work and wishes all a happy festive period ahead.”
Aisha, who is reportedly a mother of five children, was away
in Dubai for about six months till March 2021 when she returned to the country.
Until recently, she had been vocal in her criticism of the
regime of her husband, especially regarding the insecurity ravaging the
country.
