THE wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari has arrived into the country after a long vacation in London.
She arrived at approximately 4.30 am Nigerian time aboard British Airways flight, a statement by the Special Adviser on Media to the First Lady, Adebisi Olumide Ajayi, said in Abuja.
Speaking on why she stayed away for so long, Mrs Aisha Buhari said before the advent of this administration it had always been the custom for her to take a long vacation with her children, but since the President was elected and as a result of exigencies of duty it had not been possible.
The First Lady, however, said this year she decided to break the jinx and spend time with the children, especially since Mr President has graciously appointed Special Advisers and Personal assistants to her.
