Aisha Buhari recently came into the country after six months’ stay in Dubai. Many Nigerians said she left for Dubai because of her travail in Aso Rock.

Shortly after she came back into the country, her husband travelled to London, UK for medical check-up. He will be back middle of April.

Aisha Buhari surprised Nigerians when she made it known that her role as the wife of the president of Nigeria will be limited to whatever is constitutionally recognized, as Aisha promised not to overstep. At the presentation of awards to wives of governors, on Thursday, June 13, 2019, Aishat Buhari adopted the title of first lady five years after President Buhari said he would scrap the office.
