Days after opposition claimed Buhari on life support, Aisha heads to London to visit President
The wife of Nigeria’s President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, on Sunday, left for Addis Ababa, enroute London, United Kingdom, where her husband is on medical vacation.
She is making a second visit to her husband since the President returned to London in May 2017 for follow up treatment over an unknown ailment.
Her visit is coming a few days after the Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose claimed that the president was put on life support, as his condition had deteriorated.
His stand was further supported by a former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, who lambasted the governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha for disagreeing with Fayose over Buhari’s health.

A statement signed by Mrs. Buhari’s Director of Information, Suleiman Haruna, said that she would convey to President Buhari the best wishes of Nigerians and their fervent prayers for his quick recovery.
The statement further disclosed that Mrs. Buhari was expected to stop over at Addis Ababa, to make a symbolic appearance at the meeting of the Organization of African First Ladies against HIV/AIDS (OAFLA).
“She will join other members to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the organization, and use the opportunity to reiterate the voting rights of Nigeria in the upcoming elections of the organization.
“She will continue her journey to the United Kingdom on Tuesday, 3rd July, 2017,” the statement said.

You better tell your husband that Biafrans are equipped to secede out of Nigeria either by jaw jaw or war war. So he should chose the one that pays him if he is still alive

Go rest Johnson and I think you need to see a psychiatrist because it seems you are getting mad over this Biafra thing.

What’s the probability that she doesn’t be allowed to see the president this time? The cabals didn’t allow her see her husband the last time she was in London, I’m not sure they will this time.

That’s just it, Aisha should be praying for her husband because the cabals won’t still allow her see Mr president in London so she won’t come back home with another news that will escalate what they are hiding from Nigerians

Keep shut Abeni. Who told you she was prevented from seeing her husband? Did you hear that from her or you are believing the reprobate Fayose?

You better pack well. You know nothing about Nigerian politics. It’s true she was stopped from seeing her husband if not she would have spoken back to that effect.
