Public affairs analyst, Farooq Kperogi, has alleged that Nigeria’s former First Lady, Aisha Buhari, was divorced from the late President Muhammadu Buhari before his passing.


Kperogi made the claim in a post on his verified Facebook page on Wednesday while responding to reports that Aisha had stated her late husband had asked her to seek forgiveness from Nigerians on his behalf.


He further stated that Aisha had reverted to her maiden name before Buhari’s demise.

“I can’t verify the authenticity of that statement, but what I do know is that before Buhari’s death, he and Aisha were no longer married. They had divorced, and she resumed using her maiden name, Aisha Halilu,” Kperogi wrote.


To support his claim, Kperogi said, “If you paid attention, you’d notice Aisha didn’t accompany Buhari to Daura after he left office. He was alone when he later moved to Kaduna.


“Even when he fell ill and there were suggestions that Aisha travel to London to care for him, she reportedly hesitated because they were no longer married.


“She only went in his final days after much persuasion. Now, during this mourning period, she seems understandably uncertain about her role.”


Kperogi also cast doubt on the widely circulated statement attributed to Aisha.


“I’m genuinely curious, when and where did Buhari supposedly tell her to apologise to Nigerians? Where did she even say this?” he questioned. (Daily Sun)

You no dey alright..... Please allow the died to sleep

Sounds like gossip-grade fiction, if they were really divorced, don’t you think the presidency, the media, or even Aisha herself would’ve confirmed it by now? Sometimes you begin to doubt the sani..ty of these so called obidients

This is Africa, they both have grown -up children who loved their parents. So, this report doesn't hold any water.

It would have been better you didn't even think about writing this report, because you just make yourself look like somebody talking from the wrong side of his brain

Fair weather relationship bad Sha
