WIFE of the President, Aisha Buhari, has ordered all staff in the First Lady’s office to proceed on leave until further notice.
Official engagements, according to a terse statement posted on Aisha Buhari’s official Instagram handle (@aishambuhari), will continue virtually.
The statement was signed by Senior Special Assistant to the Office of the First Lady on Health and Development Partners, Mohammed Kamal.
“This serves to inform all staff that the office of the First Lady will be closed for the upcoming festive period of Christmas and New Year
“To this end, all staff are requested to proceed on leave, until further notice
“Please note that official engagements and work can also continue virtually as it was done previously,” the statement read.
Some photos of the First Lady surfaced recently on social media, on her return from Turkey-Africa summit, with insinuations that she may be pregnant.
However, in reaction to a report on the matter, Haruna, spokesperson for the First Lady, in a chat with BBC Pidgin, said, “I can assure you 100 per cent that our first lady is perfectly okay. She is neither sick nor pregnant as some reports claim.
“Some of these reports are from mischief-makers who don’t mean well. You know, nowadays, people can tamper with photos.”
