Aisha Buhari might not be Nigeria’s
next First Lady, at least not in the
modern sense of the word.
The term “First Lady” is an
unofficial title for a President’s wife
but in Nigeria, it has received near-
official status due to the fact that
funding and staff have been
allocated to First Ladies since
independence.
However, the Nigerian Constitution
does not in any way provide for the
“office” of the First Lady.
This was the reason given by
President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari
when he said during an interview
with Daily Trust in December 2014
that there would be no such office
during his regime.
“The [office of] First Lady is not in
the constitution, so there’s no
official role for them,” Buhari said.
Mrs Buhari also expressed support
for her husband’s position while
speaking during the inauguration of
the All Progressives Congress (APC)
Women Campaign Council in
January.
“When my husband is elected as
the president of this country, he
will rule the country within the
rule of law based on the
constitution of the country,” she
said.
“If the office of the first lady is
constitutionally recognized, he will
not tamper with it but if it is not,
that’s okay. For me I will perform
my duties and role as the wife of the
President of Nigeria traditionally,”
she added.
Muhammadu Buhari emerged
winner of Nigeria’s Presidential
elections on Tuesday, March 31.
He will be sworn in on Friday, May
29, 2015.
