Kabiru Dodo, an aide to the first lady and former All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Taraba State, has denied reports that wife of the president Aisha Buhari has fled the country because of rising insecurity.
Speaking in Jalingo during a presentation of toiletries to widows on behalf of Mrs Buhari’s Future Assured Foundation, the aide, Kabiru Dodo revealed that Mrs Buhari travelled out of Nigeria for medical check-up.
He said the first lady left the country before over 300 students were kidnapped in Katsina State.
“The First Lady travelled for her medical trip, she did not flee the country because of insecurity.
“She left her children, her husband and family in Nigeria.
“What people are saying is baseless and worth nothing to be considered.
“I want to tell the whole world that I do speak to her on daily basis and she is ready to return to the country as soon as she is done with the medical treatment abroad,” Dodo said.
The former member of the Taraba State House of Assembly added that the first lady did not leave Nigeria because of insecurity even when her husband was not the president.
