Our First Lady doesn't want to be referred to as The First Lady. Strange? Read the press statement...


I am not the first Lady says the wife of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Hajia Aisha Muhammadu Buhari. I am the wife of the President and will be addressed as such going forward. With her large smile that easily lights up a room, Mrs Buhari's sense of direction is established. Her jovial nature belies a strong personality who says what she thinks.


Speaking at the Appreciation Dinner held last night ,June 13th at the state house , mrs Buhari shared some of the challenges experienced on the campaign trail, ensuring that she diffused a potential life threatening situation with light laughter which shows her sense of balanced perspective on the trials that come with being in the public glare. She attributed the success of the camapaign to team work and was profoundly greatful to the team , women and youth that helped vote her husband into office. She also attributed all her success and achievements to the support of the President who encouraged her to go to school even while raising 5 children where she eventually got her Master’s degree in International affairs and Strategic studies from the Nigerian Defence Acadmy NDA

“We are celebrating our victory” she said and for every victory celebration, there is a party and a party it was indeed with beautifully and fashionably women from every state in the nation across every class ably represented seated as peers.

Also in attendance was the wife of the Vice President Mrs Oludolapo Osinbajo, who also celebrated the women who came en-masse to vote despite challenging situations, she regaled us with a story of the egg seller who had never flown in an airplane but was flown in for the party and was bring her eggs and how security did not allow the eggs on the plane. Mrs Osinbajo told us of how Mrs Buhari had continuously spoken about the Chibok girls and how meeting with the parents was a priority.
With an agenda ,giving focus to women issues, the wife of the president wants to see more women in the legislature even from the local government level. While observing the decline of women in the legislative , a situation she hopes to help reverse; she believes empowerment from the ward level will better affect the ordinary woman on the street which was a point she highlighted in an interview with a local news station during the election campaigning.

Nicknamed ‘Gogo of Africa” by Hajia Ramatu Tijani, the APC National women’s leader gogo means ‘Caregiver”, Mrs Aisha Buhari has been described as someone who will want to share your burden, an advocate for those treated unfairly,a strong supporter of the rights of women,jovial and gentle natured , she is prepared to share her beloved husband with the rest of the world,she quips “He belogs to the whole world and he belongs to nobody”

Mogidi:

Abeg I use God beg you, I no won get heart ache this afternoon.

Good move, because there is no such thing as "The Office of The First Lady" in our constitution as Patience was almost becoming the second President under the guise of that useless nomenclature.

there is nothing automatic about it, she doesn't want to be addressed as first lady period.

She is the wife of the president and not the first lady.
I hope the Nigerian press will yield to this and respect her wish

Nice one. The Constitution doesn't recognize "the Office of the First Lady."

Mtchew

ok


Mr president's wife.



just hope the press will stick to calling her the wife of the president or Mrs buhari and just 4get about calling her the first lady.

Office or no office, she is the First Lady and will be attending the African First Lady Conference.

She better stop thinking like a dullard cos she too young

. Mtcheew
What difference does it make whether you are addressed as first lady or not all Nigerians want is you don't meddle in state matters that don't concern you like mama peace.
This woman seems to be appearing more in the media than the president himself seems to me with all these comments she wants to appear intelligent and humble.
We are watching...

So, oo gbon tele? Lol

If a meeting of African First Ladies are called, who attends for Nigeria since we are first ladyless?

Instead of 'denying' the position, why doesn't she handle it the way she believes it should be handled?

Well, if she wants to unfirst lady herself so bad, let her divorce Buhari.

Reminds me of another tag.

Extreme humility is a form of pride.

Madam aisha u no say I like u. Bt no de form like say u no like better tin. Wife of the president is called 1st lady! Understood! So park wella u no de drag am wit anybody #vegatalks

Interesting how a dullard is now your president.
The same dullard was once a head of state.
The same dullard has held notable positions in the history of this country.
So who's the dullard? You or him?

She's right because constitutionally there is no office of first lady
