Aisha Buhari, wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, says her husband suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to his years in the military.

She said this on Tuesday during the foundation laying ceremony of the PTSD Wellness Centre initiated by the Defence and Police Officers Wives Association (DEPOWA).

She said many soldiers are either wounded physically or mentally due to terrifying experiences they have during the course of duty.

“Being a soldier’s wife or a retired soldier’s wife and a wellness expert, I understand the challenges associated with PTSD and its impact on military families and the nation,” she was quoted as saying

“My husband served the Nigerian Army for 27 years before he was overthrown in a coup d’état. He fought civil war for 30 months without rehabilitation; he ruled Nigeria for 20 months and was detained for 40 months without disclosing the nature of his offence.

“One year after he came out from detention, we were married, I clocked 19 years in his house as his wife, legitimately. I suffered the consequences of PTSD, because having gone through all these, and at the age of 19, to handle somebody, who was a former Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces, to tell him that he is wrong is the first mistake you will make.

“So, at the age of 19, I had to figure out how to tell somebody of his calibre that he was wrong or right and that was the beginning of my offence in his house, and contesting elections in 2003 and failed, 2007, failed and 2011, the same thing – all without rehabilitation – I became a physiotherapist.


“Finally, the whole nation rose against the misuse of power and bad governance. He only succeeded when it became a movement and here we are today. He ruled Nigeria before and he is ruling Nigeria now and this is the last time and final.

“Failing election for three times was a big blow to every contestant but those that have contested for just yesterday, a simple primary election, they are still living in a traumatic condition, I tried to console them, I tried to talk to them, some of them have switched off their phones up till today, just because of a primary election.

“You can imagine myself at 19 years old, handling somebody that went to war, suffered a coup d’état, then lost several elections, and, finally, getting to the Villa in 2015. Also, for a woman to tell them that this is wrong or right in Nigeria and Africa is a problem.

Buhari, finishing strong to impress.

2023 Electoral map. Few toss up states...

Pit Obi record sucks.. Ezu river killings happened under his watch..

darexolu16:
Ipob and crime na 5&6...their wealth is always questionable...after then go dey shout Hustle! Hustle!...ekwensu!!

No wonder, they are marching for PitObi so that they can be doing their drug business without any hindrance. Criminals.

Eboes and crime, are 5 & 6

shadrach77:
That's not true

Tboy222:
Tobi Amusan should be on the list.

I think she don get her own.

Arysexy:
Ok continue. The good thing is that majority of Nigerians have seen that Tinubu supporters are just mere tribalists nothing more to offer.

You must be refering to Pit.Obi and his fellow IPOB.

Eriokanmi:
Lol, alawada kęrikęri

But Obi is winning this election bro. The whole of South East and South south are already in his pocket, guaranteed. We've not even talked of kaduna Datti-Baba Ahmed's loving state and abuja..that's 13 states. He'd share South west with asiwaju, at least 2 states will vote obi . He's winning benue, see ortom's body language . He'd win taraba and jos. I see him winning at least 19 states in total. Apc and pdp can share the rest.

How about your 2015, 2019 predictions?? You really like to delude yourselves.
You are showing 5,000 Igbos marching in Lagos and other non south east states, but claiming millions.. Your eye will soon clear.

Arysexy:
How far with Oduduwa agitation by igboho?

Keep insulting Urhobos, ijaws, itsekiri, and all tribes in warri, thinking you are doing igbos. You are demarketing your rejected Tinubu and marketing Obi.

I'm surprised you have not called warri ppl IPOB

Igbos in warri are doing parade.

Foolishbuhari:
So Warri people are now Igbos? Disgusting bigot! Tueh!

Igbos in Warri..

Igbo movement..

It is not a coincidence that the noise of IPOB has suddenly slowed down

BeautifulMind2:
They must be highest in population for them to ground Nigeria from West, south to north keep fooling yourself, the sooner you guys know that tribal card you guys are playing isn't working the better for you guys

With your rally where nearly 5,000 people attend? You cant fool anybody with these things.

Eriokanmi:
Since you know its good, ewo wa ni tię mbę? I donated my name isn't showing but i don't care. People with fake news here and there. Beware hate speech. You heard it all during the peace pact signing , in which Emilokan was conspicuously absent . Be warned !

Be warned? Is that a threat? Cant wait for February to come and go, when we will be hearing the remix of No lefelendum, no erection..

Peter Obi Candidacy is Igbo Movement, which is good.

Many Eboes now believe in one Nigeria.. Singing the National Anthem with a lot of pride... We like am like that. I just hope they will continue with the same zeal after their Obi must have lule come Feb 2023. I dont want to hear Nigeria is a zoo, Free Lamidi Cownu, No lefelendum, No erection slogan. It will just mean that you guys are sore losers.

Igbo movement... ..

Good.
Nigeria is no longer a zoo.

The good thing about Obi candidacy is that it provides the Igbos a political platform. This was my advise to them when it appears that their umbilical cord was tied to PDP. For 24 years, PDP enslaved and maltreated them. I said it then, grow a pair. Challenge the Yoruba candidate in APC. I commend them for coming forward. Even, when you lose political battle, at least lose with some dignity..

These ASUU guys are crooks. Must you dictate to your employer which payment platform it must use in paying you? If ASUU is not scrapped, in another 100 years, students will still be experiencing ASUU strikes

Rhino Omockery don collect his own share in dollars. Shameless thief.

Eriokanmi:
It depends on the body that conducted the polls. It's an insult to say Bloomberg, a foreign organisation which had always predicted correctly spending their own resources to say they were wrong. Keyamo must be emotional of his party's impending loss. I respect only to organisations...Bloomberg and ANAP. ANAP predicted Buhari's victory in 2015 and 2019 respectively, Jonathan too in 2011

I hear you. But Obi will lose.

Buckeyemedia1:
When you & Peter Obi were in PDP you lost both in 2015 & 2019, trying now to rebrand yourself under the Labor party is a lost political cause.

For the mumus like you that don’t know, the Labor Parry is a socialist party, Peter Obi represents capitalism.

Peter Obi hijacked the party hoping to hoodwink people. Dead on Arival.

Eriokanmi:
Lmao. But they celebrated in 2015 and 2019 when the poll favoured baba abi? These politician's no go kill pesin

No previous polls has either favoured Jonathan or Atiku.

phorget:
What past please?

Read past the word past...

Ibos are trying for Peter Obi. Unfortunately, they dont have the number and their past keep haunting them. Called Hausa and Yoruba slaves. Called Fulani, Fool.ani etc.

WowSweetGuy:
I didn't deny I just said u tagged me obi...u guys know he is a strong competitor to those greedy power drunk ones. Just imagine Tinubu in international meetings standing on podium to give speech then he falls. Why can't he go rest and advise the government with his experience if he loves the country...then Atiku that one just want to come chop more money. Na tribalism Religion go kill this country.

A wise man once said

Has Tinubu fell from any podium? That is your wish and imaginations which is immaterial. Obi is not a strong competitor as you will like to believe. He will come a distant 3rd.

WowSweetGuy:
U know! The one youths are clamouring for! I think Nigeria should try him. If he under perform it won't be hard to impeach him . The other two are powerful men that can't be impeached

But you denied that you are for Obi...
Presidency is not where you experiment. Good enough they have all been in govt before and we will be the judge of their performance. Obi comes short in so many ways.

WowSweetGuy:
we have only choice to choose from the top 3. If u like call Rambo and Vandame

No, there are more presidential candidates than 3 to chose from. Just going by your words , so which of the "3 candidates" is active?

WowSweetGuy:
sharp sharp u have tagged me with Obi
The main issue is we love jagaban but he should go rest. Nigeria need someone active now
For Lagos u guys always voice out is not even him that developed Lagos. The major structures like 3rd mainland bridge and others were done during military regime

Since we need someone active, why dont we get Anthony Joshua, Style bender, Usman or Tobi Amusan? I think they will do a better job in the "active" department than any of the current contenders. Dont you think so?
