U.S.-based journalist and public affairs analyst, Farooq Kperogi, has made a controversial claim regarding the personal life of Nigeria’s former President, Muhammadu Buhari, and his wife, Aisha Buhari. According to Kperogi, the former First Lady was no longer married to the ex-president at the time of his death.
In a post shared on his verified Facebook page on Wednesday, Kperogi alleged that the couple had divorced prior to Buhari’s passing, with Aisha reportedly reverting to her maiden name, Aisha Halilu.
He stated, “People have been circulating a quote attributed to Aisha Buhari, claiming that Buhari asked her to seek forgiveness from Nigerians on his behalf. I can’t confirm the authenticity of that claim, but what I do know is that before Buhari’s death, he and Aisha were no longer married.”
Kperogi went on to claim that Aisha did not accompany Buhari when he moved to Daura after leaving office and did not live with him following his subsequent relocation to Kaduna.
“In fact, when he fell ill and it was suggested that Aisha travel to London to care for him, she reportedly hesitated because she was no longer his wife. She eventually went in the last few days before he died, but only after intense persuasion,” he added.
Questioning circulating reports that Buhari allegedly instructed Aisha to apologize to Nigerians, Kperogi wrote: “Even now, during this period of mourning, she seems understandably conflicted about her role. So, I’m genuinely curious to know when and where Buhari told her to beg Nigerians for forgiveness. Where did she even say this?”
These remarks have sparked renewed interest and debate on social media about the private life of the late Nigerian leader and the current status of his relationship with his wife prior to his death.
