Nigerians are already wondering if among President Muhammadu Buhari’s legacies when leaving office in 2023, would be a child born for him in Aso Villa, a feat no president has done at the inception of the fourth Republic in 1999.
Buhari may break the record by being the president who fathered a child in addition to his presidential role, if the stomach size of his wife, Aisha Buhari, is anything to go by. Her stomach looks big, an indication that she may be pregnant with a child. And the size of her stomach also gives rise to speculation that the pregnancy may be more than three months old.
But another news website has speculated that the protruded stomach might be an undisclosed ailment. So, far, there has not been any statement from Aso Rock to explain what is going on with the First Lady.
TheNiche had reported that Aisha Buhari left Nigeria in September last year for Dubai and stayed away from the country for six months.
Aisha Buhari had briefly returned to attend to the county to attend the wedding of her daughter, Hanan who married Mohammed Turad Sha’aban, an aide to the minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola on September 5, 2020. After the wedding, the First Lady relocated again to Dubai and kept a low profile, was not seen in public, and even abandoned social media.
At the time, her aides explained that she was attending to her health in the Emirate country.
Aisha Buhari’s sudden appearance in the scene has also come with another surprise. The flat tummy Aisha Buhari now has a protruded tummy, and it does not look like a weight gain. This has fueled the rumour that she might be expecting a presidential baby at 50. This has set a lot of tongues wagging on social media.
While as occupants of Aso Villa, three of her children – Zahra, Hannan and Yusuf, married in presidential ceremonies held in the Villa.
Are we also expecting a presidential naming ceremony before her husband leaves Aso Rock in 2023? Time will tell.
The other Aisha speaks
The Nigerian Xpress has reported that social critic and activist, Aisha Yesufu, is under fire over her Twitter post against Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in which said the economy has taken a nosedive under him.
She also called the Vice President a hypocrite in a slew of tweets on Tuesday.
“Where the economy has gone to under Buhari and Osinbajo is yet to be plotted.
