First Lady Aisha Buhari has returned to the country after spending six months in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The first lady who reportedly relocated abroad after Hanan, one of her daughters, got married in September returned to the country on Wednesday night, reports claim.
Concerns have been raised over her whereabouts during the long absence but the presidency avoided making comments on the issue.
It would be recalled that one of Aisha’s aides, Kabiru Dodo opened up on the current absence in Jalingo, Taraba State capital, in December 2020.
Dodo, who spoke on the development while presenting some items to widows on behalf of the president’s wife, faulted the report that the first lady left the country because of rising insecurity.
According to Dodo: “The first lady travelled for her medical trip, she did not flee the country because of insecurity.
“What people are saying is baseless and worth nothing to be considered.
“I want to tell the whole world that I do speak to her daily and she is ready to return to the country as soon as she is done with the medical treatment abroad.”
It is not clear if she has finally returned to the country or if she is in Nigeria on a temporary basis.
Meanwhile, a book written in her honour will be launched in a few weeks from now. It is still unknown if that is the reason behind her return to the country.
