The wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, has returned to the country after a long holiday in the United Kingdom.
Director of Information to the First Lady at the State House, Suleiman Haruna, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
Aisha arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport via a British Airways flight at about 4:30AM.
According to the statement, she addressed a gathering of reporters awaiting her arrival.
The First Lady said she was happy to be home after a well-deserved rest.
She also confirmed that she was fully rejuvenated to continue the work of improving the health and well-being of women, children, and other vulnerable Nigerians while she was away.
Aisha used the opportunity to thank her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, as well as family and well-wishers for their support and encouragement while she was away.
She was received at the airport by wives of present and former and governors and many associates among others.
Unconfirmed social media reports earlier suggested the First lady was prevented from gaining access into the Presidential Villa in a video that didnt show her face.
Aisha’s return may have also dispelled rumours of a purported wedding of the President to the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs in a bid to reward her for years of loyalty to the President and to take care of him since the First lady’s return from London was becoming uncertain.
