The wife of Nigerian President, Aisha Muhammadu Buhari, has confirmed the viral video, showing her ranting about a locked door in the presidential villa when she returned to Nigeria.
Speaking, the president’s wife said: “The video was an old video.
The event happened. It was me…actually, it happened in the villa.”
Mrs Buhari returned at about 4.30am on Sunday, after having been away on holiday in the United Kingdom, UK.
She relocated to the UK after an earlier trip to Saudi Arabia.
In a chat with newsmen, Aisha said she was the one in the footage but an old video.
It was gathered that Aisha got angry after a disagreement with Mamman Daura, the president’s cousin, some months ago.
In the clip, Aisha said: “This is the villa. We have over 200 soldiers guarding us, over 200 policemen. Why do you have to lock this door? What for, what for? Enough is enough. Let me know when you are leaving this place, let me know”
The First Lady, however, said she was happy to be home,
Aisha returned amid rumors that her husband allegedly planned to marry the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster and Management, Sadiya Umar Farouq.
The airwaves are awash with Fatima mamman Dauras daughter consenting to the fact that she indeed shot and leaked the now infamous video clip which showed the wife of the president in a very angry mood.
The incident happened over a year ago when the wife of the president on the instructions of the president asked the Dauras to vacate their living quarters inside the villa for a sick Yussuf Buhari who was recuperating after an accident. For this reason, the quarters were needed and the Dauras were asked to move to another part of the villa.
Long before the accident Yusuf’s mother had requested in writing for the Daura’s to vacate the place because the building is officially designated for the biological children of any serving president.
The IG of police, DG DSS, NSA and the Vice President who was the acting President were all notified of this request.
Despite this, the Daura’s deliberately refused to comply with the instructiions of the security agencies.
Mamman Dauras daughter Fatima did not say this in her interview.
But What really was the intent for the video being released now if not for mischief?
Fatima didnt showcase her part in the drama where the door was locked against the first lady to deny her access to some areas of the villa, neither did she acknowledge the abuse she first vented before the first lady reacted under the instruction of DG Lawal Daura who was brought into GOV by Mamman Daura.
