Kabiru Dodo, on of the aides to the Nigeria’s First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has finally opened up on the absence of the president’s wife from the Presidential Villa, Abuja for over two months.
Dodo, who spoke to Dailytrust over the weekend in Jalingo, Taraba State, Aisha quietly left the country for Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on a medical check-up.
Speaking on the latest development while presenting some items to widows on behalf of the president’s wife, Dodo faulted the report that the first lady left the country because of rising insecurity.
According to Dodo, “The first lady travelled for her medical trip, she did not flee the country because of insecurity.
“What people are saying is baseless and worth nothing to be considered. I want to tell the whole world that I do speak to her daily and she is ready to return to the country as soon as she is done with the medical treatment abroad.”
Meanwhile, several efforts to get her spokesperson, Aliyu Abdullahi to speak on the matter yielded no result.
It was gathered that the first lady left shortly after the wedding of one of her daughters, Hana.
Mrs Buhari’s absence became obvious due to her inactiveness on the social media especially Facebook and Twitter.
Besides, different aides have been representing her to distribute relief materials to the needy in various states across the country under the aegis of the Aisha Buhari Foundation.
Abacityblog.com reported that on Saturday August 22 Hajiya Aisha thanked all Nigerians for their prayers and well wishes while she was away for medical treatment in the United Arabs Emirates (UAE).
