NO MORE “First Lady’s office” ~ It’s now Called: “Office of the Wife of the President”

No official portfolio has been assigned to Aisha, the
wife of president Muhmmadu Buhari, overruling
what hitherto was known as “First Lady’s office”,
the presidency has said. Renaming it “Office of the
Wife of the President”, the presidency however
stated that Mrs.

Buhari would, for now, be saddled with women

and youth related issues in the country. This was

in reaction to allegations in some Nigerian media

that the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari has

moved into the First Lady’s office in the Aso Villa.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on

Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu recalled

that the time Mrs. Buhari had to make use of the

office was at the beginning of the present

administration.

Shehu, affirming that change has come, said there

will be no access to public funds by the “Office of

the Wife of the President”, as it will be purely

private and voluntary.
