Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari, on Tuesday broke her silence over her husband’s health, saying the situation is not as bad as perceived.
The 46-year-old spoke via messages posted by her official Twitter handle.
It comes on the day ailing President Muhammadu Buhari reportedly met the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation, NNPC, Maikanti Baru, behind closed doors at the Presidential Villa.
While thanking Nigerians for their concern, love and prayer for their 74-year-old leader, the first lady said her husband continues to carry out his responsibilities as president.
