Aisha Buhari, wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, has raised the hope of Nigerians that the President may soon return from his medical trip to the United Kingdom.
Writing on her Facebook handle, Aisha used the symbolism of the popular comic movie, ‘The Lion King’, to describe the situation in Nigeria at the moment.
Rumours are rife that a group of politicians, always referred to as ‘The Cabal’, is plotting to scheme out Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, hoping that the President may not recover in time.
But Aisha on Monday wrote: “God has answered the prayers of the weaker Animals, The Hyena’s and the Jackals will soon be sent out of the kingdom. We strongly believe in the prayers and support of the weaker animals. Long live the weaker animals, Long live Nigeria.”
She made the comments while sharing a post made by Shehu Sani, a Kaduna State senator, on July 6.
Sani’s post had read: “Prayer for the absent Lion King has waned; until he’s back then they will fall over each other to be on the front row of the palace temple. Now the hyenas and the jackals are scheming and talking to each other in whispers; still doubting whether the Lion King will be back or not. Now the Lion king is asleep and no other dare to confirm if he will wake up or not. It’s the wish of the Hyenas that the Lion King never wakes or come back so that they can be kings. It’s the Prayers of the weaker animals that the Lion King comes back to save the Kingdom from the Hyenas, the wolves and other predators.”
The first lady is currently in London visiting her husband who has been away since May 7.
