Aisha Buhari Reveals New Official Title

The Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari, has apologised for causing confusion over her designation and how she should be addressed.

Mrs Buhari was addressed as ‘Wife of the President’ throughout the first tenure of her husband.

Naijaparry gathered that at an event held at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Thursday night, she announced her decision to be addressed as the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

She revealed her official title at the presentation of awards to immediate past governors’ wives and current governors’ wives of the 36 states of the Federation.

According to her, the new designation would take immediate effect in order to resolve the issue of the title of wives of governors.

She said: “When my husband was newly elected, I personally chose to be called the Wife of the President.

“But, I realised that it causes confusion from the state as to whether the wives of state governors are to be addressed as the first ladies or wives of the governors.

“So, forgive me for confusing you from the beginning, but now I choose to be called the First Lady.”
