The wife of the Nigerian President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari says she should not be referred to as The First Lady. Isn't that Strange?

"I am not the first Lady says the wife of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Hajia Aisha Muhammadu Buhari. I am the wife of the President and will be addressed as such going forward". 

Speaking at the Appreciation Dinner held last night ,June 13^th at the state house , Mrs. Aisha Buhari appreciated all women and youths that helped her husband to win the election despite the hitches they experienced during the election campmpaign.  She sid they were able to overcome all those because of team work.  She also attributed all her success and achievements to the support of the President who encouraged her to go to school even while raising 5 children where she eventually got her Master’s degree in International affairs and Strategic studies from the Nigerian Defence  Acadmy NDA

“We are celebrating our victory” she said and for every victory celebration, there is a party and a party it was indeed with beautifully and fashionably women  from every state in the nation across every class ably represented seated as peers.

In attendance was the wife of the Vice President Mrs. Oludolapo Osinbajo, who also celebrated the women who came en-masse to vote despite challenging situations, she regaled us with a story of the egg seller who had never flown in an airplane but was flown in for the party and was to bring her eggs and how security did not allow the eggs on the plane. Mrs. Osibajo told us of how Mrs Buhari had continuously spoken about the Chibok girls and how meeting with the parents was a priority.

Nicknamed ‘Gogo of Africa” by  Hajia Ramatu Tijani, the APC National women’s leader gogo means ‘Caregiver”, Mrs Aisha Buhari has been described as someone who will want to share one's burden, an advocate for those cheated, a strong supporter of the rights of women. She is described as naturally jovial and gentle, she is prepared to share all she has even her husband with rest of the world, she says “He belongs to the whole world and he belongs to nobody”.
