Malam Adnan Nahabu, said in an interview with Sunday Sun that; “let me tell you this speculation is the handwork of those people within Buhari’s government who do not like what she is always saying about their agencies or offices. So, the only way to deal with her was to fabricate all these lies.

“However, let me make it clear that there has never been any misunderstanding between President Muhammadu Buhari and his wife talk less of divorce. You see, as husband, if Buhari could tolerate his wife for more that three decades without divorce, why now when he has assumed the leadership of the country and needs her support most? To the best of our knowledge, there is nothing between the two apart from mutual understanding. I am telling you this on behalf of our extended family.”

He described the First Lady as someone who had always expressed her mind without fear of anyone, saying; “After all as a Nigerian, she has the right to express her views, which I believe many people within this government do not like.”

Speaking further, Spokesperson of the President’s family said; “Let me start by telling Nigerians, for those who do not know Aisha Buhari; she got married to Mr President at the age of between 17 and 18 years. She obtained her bachelors and masters degree in his house. She has all along been open and speaks her mind freely on any issue at home.

“This attitude of her was misunderstood by some Nigerians as being confrontational.

“Honestly, Mr President is very simple and tolerant to every member of the family, including her as his wife. He always gives her the right to express herself on any matter. If you look at her utterances, you will discover that she talks for the interest of many Nigerians, not her personal interest.

“Another thing people should know, Mrs Aisha Buhari has been an enterprising house wife, she conducts her businesses, both in Nigeria and abroad, for many years even before the coming of her husband as president.

On the arrest of Dabo Dano in London with money and different passports, and the claim that he was fronting for the First Lady, Malam Nahabu said; “This allegation is part of the reactions against her. These are the voices of some people in the government, the voices of those she stepped on their toes.”
