7 Important Things You Didn’t Know About Aisha Buhari | Biography by ShaxeeNG: 9:03am On Apr 05, 2015
Like her famous husband, Mrs Buhari is equally a self-effacing
but extremely articulate and charming woman. She can be
described as the softer side of the mirthless and disciplined
retired Army general. Here are a few things you probably
didnt know about Nigeria’s new First Lady.
1. Childhood
Aisha Buhari was born in Adamawa state into the family of the
first Minister of Defense, Muhammadu Ribadu in the early
1970’s. She is also the granddaughter of the first Chiroma Of
Adamawa. She was schooled in the best of Fulani traditions and
cultures . She speaks English and Arabic fluently.
2. Education
Aisha Buhari is a thorough professional and an alumnus of the
famous Ahmadu Bello university where she earned a Bachelors
in Public Administration. Her quest for more education took her
into the field of Physiotherapy and Beauty therapy. She is also
an alumnus of the famous Carlton Institute of London and the
Academy Esthetique Beauty Institute of France, Dubai where
she earned a Post graduate diploma in cosmetology and beauty
theraphy. She also has a Master’s Degree in International Affairs
& Strategic Studies from Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna.
3. Family
Aisha got married to Buhari in December 1989 and they have
been married for twenty five years now.they are blessed with
children and a grandchild.
She said this about her husband in an interview,“My husband is
a family-oriented person. He has very close relationships with
his children, grandchild, and entire members of the family. He is
very caring and protective of us”.
4. She gained popularity when she asked Jonathan to
resign
After an assassination attempt on her husband in July 2014 in
Kaduna, she said that President Goodluck Jonathan should
resign from his office.
“As he saw grieving families suffering with the pain of losing
their loved ones and the sadness and resentment of the public,
he took responsibility as prime Minister; he apologised to his
country and resigned because of service to humanity. Jonathan
should emulate such a leader, because Nigerians have been
dying daily, for the four years, hoping that government is going
to do something, but we are tired of this insecurity and
increased attacks on innocent people.
Where is Jonathan? What is he doing? If action is not taken
now, when? It is not enough to verbally condemn; action is
long overdue.” She concluded.
5. She is an entrepeneur and employer of labour
Aisha is a woman with great entrepreneurial spirit.Following her
certification in beauty and permanent makeup , Mrs Buhari was
encouraged and supported by her husband to engage in private
enterprise where she has since become an employer of labour,
a mentor to all aspiring cosmetologists and a consultant to the
KRCP/NNPC on skills acquisition. Mrs Buhari is a member of the
United Kingdom Vocational Training and Charitable Trust
(VTCT), The International Health and Beauty Council (HBC).She is
also a board member of International Human Right with their
head office in United Kingdom.
6. She plans to perform her role as the wife of the
President traditionally
She made a statement during the APC women presidential
campaign that “When my husband is elected as the president of
this country, he will rule the country within the rule of law
based on the constitution of the country. If the office of the first
lady is constitutionally recognized, he will not tamper with it,
but if it is not that’s okay. For me, I will perform my duties and
role as the wife of the President of Nigeria traditionally.Wives of
presidents have some traditional roles, like receiving guests,
visiting orphanages, helping the less privileged people. They
also lead in the fight for the right of women and malnourished
children, infant mortality rate, kidnapping and girl-child
trafficking,” she said.
7. She is a strong advocate for the female gender
She never misses an opportunity to advocate for the
empowerment of women in even traditionally male circles.
With a woman like Aisha Buhari as the First Lady of Nigeria, it is
certain that female issues will take the front burner in the Buhari
administration.
