Aisha Buhari is neither pregnant nor sick, aide clarifies

Sulaiman Haruna, Media aide to Aisha Buhari, has debunked reports that she is pregnant.

He also brushed off suggestions that the First Lady might be suffering from an ailment.

Some Nigerians had alleged that the First lady was pregnant after photos of her arrival from Turkey surfaced online.

In fact, she appeared to be spotting a protruding tummy in the photos.

But Haruna told BBC that Aisha was neither sick nor pregnant.

According to him, the rumours were from mischief makers who did not mean well.

He said: “I can assure you 100 percent that our first lady is perfectly okay. She is neither sick nor pregnant as some reports claim.

“Some of these reports are from mischief makers who don’t mean well. You know, nowadays, people can tamper with photos.”
