Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari

According to the Punch,

Wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, has been operating from the Office of the First Lady located inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.Ahead of the March 28 presidential election, Buhari, who was the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, had promised that he would not have an office for the First Lady should he emerge victorious at the election.

“The Office of the First Lady is not in the constitution, so there’s no official role for them,” Buhari had said.

Since her husband’s assumption of office, Mrs. Buhari has dropped the title of “First Lady” used by her predecessors, including Mrs. Patience Jonathan. She adopted the title of “Wife of the President.” Mrs. Buhari and her handlers operate from the First Lady’s office used by her predecessors. The office is located beside the official residence of the President.

Her office, like it was under her predecessors, houses her staff members, including personal aides, security details and protocol officials, among others.She has so far organised events similar to the ones that were not in short supply under her immediate predecessor, Mrs. Jonathan. This has been the style of previous First Ladies.
