Former First Lady Aisha Buhari says she has no plans to remarry, describing the decision as pragmatic, not moralistic.

“She will not remarry, she says, almost with a shrug,” she told Dr Charles Omole, author of the new 600-page biography titled ‘From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari’, unveiled at the State House, Abuja, on Monday.

It added, “It is not a moral pronouncement so much as a pragmatic one: she has grandchildren; one husband was enough.”

The 22-chapter work chronicled Buhari’s early life in Daura, Katsina state, until his final hours in a London hospital in mid-July 2025.

It framed her stance as a refusal of cultural binaries that cast widows as either betrayers or saints.

“In a culture that sometimes reads remarriage as betrayal or saintliness, her answer refuses both scripts. It is simply a woman naming the contours of her future,” the book explained.

Outlining the next chapter of her life, the former First Lady says she plans a quieter public life, splitting her time between family, philanthropy and travel.

“Her plans are domestic and cosmopolitan at once. She will holiday with friends and associates. She will dote on grandchildren so they will remember her not as a moving figure behind tinted glass but as a presence in their childhood rooms.

“She will run her foundation, the Aisha Buhari Foundation, and the cardiovascular and medical centre in Kano that has already completed over two hundred procedures.
