Mrs. Aisha Buhari, wife of Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, has finally returned to the country after being away for about six months, according to reports.
Mrs. Buhari was said to have returned to the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday evening.
Although her return has not been confirmed officially as of the time of filing this report, a Presidency official who did not want his name mentioned said, “Yes, madam is back.”
Outspoken Mrs. Buhari had gone off the radar around September 2020 shortly after the wedding of her daughter, Hanan.
SaharaReporters, an online newspaper, had reported that she relocated to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, citing security issues.
But shortly after, one of her aides, Kabiru Dodo, said Mrs. Buhari was on a foreign medical trip.
Even on her birthday, when she turned 50 years old on February 18, no word was heard from her.
However, on March 8, she broke her long silence as she sent goodwill message to Nigerian women on the International Women’s Day.
