Aisha Buhari Says She Was the Angry Woman in That Viral Video

First Lady Aisha Buhari returned to Nigeria from the UK at about 5am on Sunday, October 13, 2019, looking as tanned, happy and colorful as ever.

She arrived shortly after rumour mongers took to the social media space with tales that President Muhammadu Buhari had concluded plans to marry a second wife at the Aso Rock Mosque.

According to the tales, Buhari was all set to marry his Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq on Friday, October 11, 2019.

Stories of an imminent presidential wedding turned out to be false.

However, in the hours leading to the rumoured wedding, a video emerged of a lady screaming herself hoarse in a furnished apartment.

This lady’s face was cut off in the footage, so it was doubly difficult making out who she was, even though the posters made it clear the screaming, angry lady was Aisha Buhari.

From the footage, the furious lady was saying to no one in particular in an admixture of English and Hausa: “This is the villa…we have over 200 soldiers guarding us…200 policemen guarding us..why do you have to lock this door? What for? What for? Enough is enough!! Enough is enough!!! Let me know when you are leaving this place.”

When Mrs. Buhari arrived Nigeria, she told journalists who had caught up with her at the airport that she was the one in the footage.

“The video was an old video,” the First Lady said with a smile. “The event happened. It was me. Actually it happened in the Villa.”
