So much noise have been made by president Buhari and his handlers about not creating or recognizing 'unconstitutional' Office of First Lady of Nigeria.

Since his inauguration, Mrs Buhari has adopted the title - Wife of the President rather than the First Lady.

But what is in a name? I was listening to NTA network news at 9pm today when an advertisement was aired about Mrs Buhari's plan to host breaking of fast for commoners - okada riders, house helps, widows, etc at presidential villa at 6.30pm on Friday 3/7/2015. The message was signed by one 'Dr Hajo Thanni - Senior Special Assistant, Office of the Wife of the President of Nigeria'!

Is it the title -First Lady that is unconstitutional or the office? Is the noise and changes promised regarding that office just about nomenclature rather than substance?

Anybody who has clear idea about this should please clarify.

Don't mind buhari n his wife, we are asking them 1naira to 1dollar they are giving us first lady to wife of president

Good question

How Buhari use take "jazz" all dis apc supporters still dhe baffle me. No be clear eyes, d guy "jazz" na made in "west germany"

Office means she has to get a share from the national cake to run her office. Wife of the president is just what it says. She had no official job. She does not have to get a share of the national cake to run such an office. She only gets soup money and pocket money from her husband who is the president.

^^^ but her office is referred to as Office of the Wife of the President in the advertisemnt on NTA and that office is staffed.

Hian!

that is what you see....change in name.....they will keep deceiving people as the day goes by.....APC full of lies... they will soon start blaming Jonathan for the change in name they have just made....

The office is unconstitutional. Under GEJ, the office of the first lady was recognized as an institution with a budget. Such an office is not recognized by the constitution. There is nothing wrong with the title "first lady" or "wife of the president" as long as it's not translated into an office with a budget and staff (advisers etc). Michelle Obama does not have an office of the first lady for instance but she is the first lady by being married to Barack

Wife of the president = Aisha Buhari

Office of the first lady = Dame Patience Mummy P

One has a national influence while the other is just a house wife.

Please read the content of the original post not just the headline.

Previous governments had Office of First Lady with staff working there. The present govt declared such office unconstitutional but created the Office of the Wife of the President and also staffed it. That is what led to the question.

Did you read the OP at all? There are up to three separate threads on this. Ahmed Thanni (a staff in the villa) put out an announcement on NTA on behalf of the Office of the Wife of the President on Thursday nite.

I also saw the advert but laughed. The unconstitutional office is still staffed and in operation. Buhari and APC have scammed Nigerians
