Nigerians React As Governors’ Wives ‘Travel To Dubai For Aisha Buhari’s Birthday’

A video of governors’ wives presenting a birthday cake to Aisha Buhari, Nigeria’s First Lady had gone viral on social media attracting the outrage of some Nigerians.

Bisi Fayemi, wife of the Ekiti State governor, was seen holding a cake while leading the other women who presented the cake to Aisha during her 51st birthday in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

Some citizens had condemned the gesture as they queried why the First Lady had made Dubai her permanent city of residence.

Also, some lambasted the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration as they compared it to that of the former President, Goodluck Jonathan who was accused of corruption.

This, according to the users, is happening at a time the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is on strike and at a period that hardship is biting hard at Nigerians.

Below are some of the reactions:

A top source had informed this online medium in December 2020 that the First Lady had now relocated quietly to the UAE and that she would not be returning anytime soon.

“Aisha Buhari has relocated quietly to Dubai. She had been going even before the daughter’s wedding. For three months now, she had been there…” the source said at the time.
