SAN FRANCISCO, January 27, (THEWILL) – The wife of the President, Aisha Buhari, has denied reports that she condemned the recent suspension of embattled Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen.
Aisha, in a statement issued through her Director of Information, Suleiman Haruna, on Sunday in Abuja described the news making therounds that she condemned Onnoghen’s removal as fake.
The statement reads:
The attention of wife of the President has been drawn to a post on social media to the effect that she condemned the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria.
It is important to inform Nigerians that wife of the President has not made any public statements on the matter and therefore the commentary is untrue and fake.
This is highly condemnable and we therefore advise the purveyors of such news to recant and desist henceforth.
THEWILL recalls that Aisha has not been seen on the campaign trail of her husband nor publicly in over two weeks despite launching an audacious and unprecedented campaign council to help her husband win reelection on February 16, 2019.
However, THEWILL exclusively gathered that she is gravely ill and being treated in a German hospital following an undisclosed ailment.
Two authoritative sources close to the first family told THEWILL that Aisha suddenly became ill a few days after formally inaugurating the campaign.
The sources added that she was flown to a German hospital when her condition deteriorated and wouldn’t respond to medications administered by her doctor.
