According to her, “After eight years at the villa, I said I would miss going for a walk in the evening. You know, they have a very long stretch of land and a beautiful garden, I think I’ll miss that. Other than that, we leave happy. And we thank God.

Her revelation comes just three days before the end of the term of her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari.

Recall that the Buhari government was inaugurated on May 29, 2015 and will end on May 29, 2023.

Speaking further at the Presidential Palace in Abuja during a visit to the Residence with the upcoming First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, Aisha Buhari said that although the role of the First Lady is not constitutional, she appreciates it. The goodwill of the people helped him carry out humanitarian activities and was a partner of NGOs during his 8 years in office.

She is also said to have entrusted the peace mission of African first ladies to her successor, who will now be the main presenter for all the wives of African heads of state. The first lady of the outing said: “As you know, the First Lady’s role is unconstitutional, but we benefit from the goodwill of the people to accomplish a few basic things, such as such as humanitarian activities.

“We work with many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to help our citizens, and I appreciate this goodwill over the past eight years.

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

In response, his wife Tinubu thanked her predecessor for her leadership and expressed humility in taking on the role.

“We are touched by what you’ve done, you’ve shown great leadership and ingenuity in the way you do things. I want to sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart that you didn’t participate. This role says you know it all,” she said.
