We should drop sentiment and demand for explanation from the Presidency
And what would you consider sentimental about my post? I simply agreed with the previous comment which provided a logical theory why the Aisha Buhari being referred to is most likely the President’s wife.

hypocrisy builds up in someone and does not build up one

Of course you can mask it but inference shows you hate all by this statement you made in another thread ' this is the reason I have more respect for other regions of the country' because of a demonstration of obviously sponsored touts that also occur in other places

Buhari must immediately arrest his wife or resign from office!!!!

The court documents clearly show that Buhari's wife benefited from the proceeds of corruption!

If Buhari has no intention to fight corruption then let him forget it and focus on job creation

otherwise AISHA Buhari must answer corruption questions!!!

[size=13pt]I was a bit surprised when I viewed the sentencing of a US senator (William Jefferson) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Jefferson implicated in a bribery scandal in which his agreement to bribe our then vice president became revealed. You can still find the sentencing file hosted on the US Department of Justice's site.

What was really surprising is was the citing of exhibits 36-87 revealing wire transfers from a Nigerian account in the name of Aisha Buhari to the account of ANJ Group LLC, identifying the senator as the beneficiary.

This lends credit to the allegations of missin $2.8billion dollars under Buhari's watch

It also I believe explains why Buhari found it okay to serve under the Abacha administration and eventually say after Abacha passed away, that "Abacha never stole".

It is his public declaration that Abacha never stole combined with the fact that he served under Abacha that raised serious red flags in my mind about him. Why would anyone (especially one who served under Abacha) make such a declaration? It stands to reason that the only reason he would say that is that he had very strong reasons for which he would want us to believe that statement.
And I make bold to say that those reasons are almost certainly self-protective.

As I write this, it occurs to me that the man (Buhari) does not really respect Nigerians at all. Or else how could he have declared such a feeble lie, expecting anyone to believe it?

Anyway, this is the link to the US Department of Justice-hosted sentencing implicating Aisha Buhari in the Criminal Fraud case of William Jefferson, now serving his term in the US:

Aisha Buhari gave evidence to the grand jury and yet we don't know who she is?
@OP, you've really got your work cut out here.... grin grin grin

Three years ago, Aisha Buhari, a middle-aged Nigerian woman, stood at a perfume counter inside a Washington pharmacy and, according to an African immigrant named Joshua Assiba who said he was also there, bought thousands of dollars of merchandise.

“You must be a rich woman, looking at the way you dress and spend money,” Mr. Assiba recalls telling Ms. Buhari.

As the pair struck up a conversation and subsequently became friends, Mr. Assiba, then a security guard, said she told him that her father was the former military ruler of Nigeria, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, and that her American friends included politicians like Mr. Jefferson of Louisiana.

Mr. Assiba, who was scouting investors for his own African projects, had been introduced earlier to Mr. Hines. The lobbyist, Mr. Assiba told Ms. Buhari, was just the man Mr. Attah needed.

Term limits barred him from running again for governor, and so he cast his eye on becoming Nigeria’s next president. To prepare for that run, he needed to raise his profile at home and abroad. So when he received a telephone call from Ms. Buhari in 2005 endorsing Mr. Hines as someone who could help, he said he agreed to hire him.

“All I needed to do was ask Aisha if she knew him,” Mr. Attah recalls.

Mr. Attah says he knows Ms. Buhari’s father, who is still a powerful Nigerian politician, by reputation. He also met her, he said, in 2001 when she accompanied a group of American politicians that included Mr. Jefferson to Akwa Ibom to see oil-related pollution problems there.

But in September 2005, a week after Mr. Attah signed the Akwa Ibom contract, Mr. Hines sent a letter to State Department officials in Nigeria urging them to renew Ms. Buhari’s American visa; the letter stated that his firm had hired her as a “consultant” and that her contract was “available on request” for inspection.


Mr. Creed had tried to get the deal, but it was Ms. Buhari, the Nigerian woman, who suddenly re-emerged to snatch the prize.

As for Ms. Buhari, who is living in Virginia, it’s not clear who she really is. For one, she is under investigation in Nigeria by its Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, said its head, Nuhu Ribadu.

Mr. Ribadu said he is uncertain if her name is Aisha Buhari, but he added that she is not a daughter of General Buhari. The former Nigerian ruler agrees.

“I don’t have any relationship with that Aisha Buhari,” Mr. Buhari said. “I don’t have any daughter called Aisha Buhari living outside this country. She is not my daughter.”

The Nigerian official said that American authorities suspect that Ms. Buhari may have served as a financial conduit for the politician. Mr. Jefferson has not been charged with any crimes and has denied any wrongdoing; his lawyer declined to comment.Mr. Ondeck, whose experience as a lawyer is highlighted on GlobalOptions’ Web site, accompanied Ms. Buhari to the courthouse on the day of her testimony. But he did not go as her lawyer; several years ago, he was disbarred.

On a recent day, Ms. Buhari stepped out of her town house in suburban Washington, wearing a long blue patterned dress and a head scarf decorated with strands of colorful threads. She declined to speak with a reporter seeking an interview.

“You have no business here,” she said. “I’ll call the authorities.”

Quite frankly, I don't. But I'll be shocked if there's only one Aisha Buhari in the country. I would think that Aisha and Buhari are fairly common names in the north? I guess I am wrong. My bad!
Don't mind Tonyebarcanista i can tell you with all sincerity that there is another Aisha Buhari that i know very well here in Kaduna. Its even ludicrous to imagine that there is only one Aisha Buhari in the entire country.

That's the joke call NIGERIA! A man whose wife wore a 13million naira wristwatch to a Presidential Inauguration, and whose daughters wears a 200.000naira shoe how do you expect him to fight corruption.
When the moral fibre of the nuclear family is broken what right has the man to tell others not to steal.
Nigerians will have to fight to retake back our Nation from this Economic buccaneers masquerading as Leaders!
