Mrs Buhari in Secret Tussle with Her Husband over Office of the First Lady. {A must Read]

 

Sources close to President Muhammadu Buhari are saying, there is growing concern over the apparent determination of the president’s wife, Aisha Buhari, to politically possess the office of the "first lady" as a  spouse of the president,  in defiance of her husband’s wishes.

You recall the president already said during his political campaigns that he was scrapping the office of the first lady.

However, according to Sahara Reporters, some sources close to the presidency, are alleging that, the president’s wife seemed determined to build herself into a First Lady in the mold of her three past predecessors.


She was reportedly in a haste to move into Aso Rock Villa, and ended up relocating to the President’s official residence three days before her husband moved in. One source said she brought along to Aso Rock three powerful friends who have been running her office as though she has an official title. 

The three women are former Senator Pauline Tallen from Plateau State, Fatimat Abubakar, a wife of former Vice President Abubakar Atiku, and a former Minister of Women Affairs, Hajia Hajo Sani.

It has also been learnt that Buhari wife’s three friends had become a cause for concern for President Buhari. “Mr. President [Buhari] is a simple man by nature. He still doesn’t want his wife, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, to begin to play the kind of role that First Lady Mrs. Patience Jonathan played,” he said.
