Aisha returns to London to be with Buhari

 

Aisha Buhari, wife of the President Muhammadu Buhari, has travelled to London again to visit her ailing husband, the second of such visit in a month.

A statement by her media aide said  Aisha “will convey to the President the best wishes of Nigerians and their fervent prayers for his quick recovery”.

She is expected to stop over at Addis Ababa to make a symbolic appearance at the meeting of the Organisation of African First Ladies against HIV/AIDS (OAFLA) on Monday 3rd July, 2017.

“She will join other members to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the organisation, and use the opportunity to reiterate the voting rights of Nigeria in the upcoming elections of the organisation,” read the statement.

“She will continue her journey to the United Kingdom on Tuesday, 3rd July, 2017.”




     

     

    The President’s wife returned from a similar visit to London on June 6 and told journalists that her husband was recovering fast and will soon return to the country.

    “I thank Allah for my safe trip to U.K, where I visited President Muhammadu Buhari,” she had written on her Twitter handle at the time.

    “He thanks Nigerians for their constant prayers for his health & steadfastness in the face of challenges.

    “He is soliciting for your continuous cooperation & support to the Ag. President, Yemi Osinbajo towards achieving the mandate of this administration as contained in our APC manifesto, so that we can build a very strong institution for a better future of our country Nigeria.”
