For run-away first lady of Nigeria; Mrs. Aisha Buhari, celebrating a milestone of age 50 years on mother earth is indeed worth celebrating with praise singers; singing her praises to the high heavens and also roll-out drums in celebratory mood. Instead of such glitz, the first lady was missing in action. She was allegedly far away at the United Arab Emirate where she relocated citing insecurity as an excuse.
It comes as a big shock to those close to the first-lady as the Presidency refused to celebrate her birthday of send a message of appreciation to celebrate her new age. Instead of the birthday frenzy, newspaper advertorials, published articles, social media celebration posts, everywhere seems calm. “She should have been celebrated but for a First-lady of a country who abandoned her husband and her people by relocating to Dubai at a perilous time when; insecurity and killings is currently tearing the country apart. Maybe that’s why many have refused to celebrate her including her kids.”
It’s her 50th birthday and nobody seems to care about it. Unlike other former first ladies in the past who will get lots of advertorials on newspapers, lots of goodwill messages on social media and off social media with gift thronging in like an endless flow of water, with lots of surprises. Aisha’s Birthday seems different this year. Sources disclosed that; she had a quiet celebration in Dubai devoid of Media presence. “It will be so insensitive of her to celebrate at this time when the country is hot. She might also be trying to avoid larger gatherings due to the current pandemic. Notwithstanding, a message from her husband’s official handles should celebrate her. From all indication, it seems the first lady who is fond of complaining about her husband’s government and leadership style has been left in the cold. From the inception of the Buhari administration, he promised not to recognize the office of the first-lady seems same is still applicable with the Presidency.
