Aisha Buhari: My husband’s health not as bad as perceived

Aisha, wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, says the health of her husband is not as bad as being perceived.

Buhari, who returned from the UK on March 10 after an extended medical vacation, has made only a few public appearances lately, fuelling speculation about his health.

But the president’s wife said his health is not that bad.

Aisha said this in a tweet on Tuesday.

She said the president had continued to carry out his responsibilities, and that he met with Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation, and Maikanti Baru, group managing director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), on Tuesday evening.

Below are her tweets.

I thank all Nigerians for their concern, love and prayers over my husband’s health status. 1/4
