Aisha Buhari, the outgoing First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has revealed the only thing she would be missing when she leaves Aso Rock on Monday, May 29, 2023.

Aisha Buhari who spoke on Saturday at the Presidential Villa said she would miss walking around in the Villa in the evening.

Aisha’s revelation is coming barely three days to May 29, when her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari will be passing the baton of leadership to the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Speaking with the Sun, the first lady said walking around the villa would be the only thing she would miss.

According to her, “After eight years in the villa, I used to say I would miss taking a walk in the evening.

“You know, they have a very long stretch and a beautiful garden, I think I’m going to miss that. Apart from that, we are leaving happily. And we thank God.”

It would be recalled that Buhari’s government was inaugurated on May 29, 2015, and after successful 8 years of leadership his tenure would come to an end on May 29, 2023.

Speaking further during the tour of the Villa with incoming first lady, Oluremi Tinubu, Aisha Buhari said despite the role of the First Lady is not constitutional, she has enjoyed the goodwill of the citizens that allowed her to carry out humanitarian activities and partner with NGOs during her eight years in office.

She was also reported to have handed over the African First Ladies Peace Mission to her successor, who will now serve as the chief host of all the spouses of African heads of state.

The outing first lady said As you are all aware the role of the First Lady is unconstitutional, but we enjoy the goodwill of the citizens in order to carry out some basic things, like humanitarian activities.

We partner with a lot of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in order to help our citizens, and I have enjoyed that goodwill for the last eight years.

“So, I have prepared a handover, just to guide you, and see the NGOs that we have worked with.”

Responding, Tinubu’s wife thanked her predecessor for her leadership and expressed her humility in taking on the role.

We are very humbled by what you have done, you have exhibited great leadership and dexterity in the way you do things. I want to sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart because you don’t come into this role and say you know it all,” she said.
