President Muhammadu Buhari‘s wife, Aisha, has called on Nigerians to address her as ‘First Lady’ in the President’s “Next Level” administration.
Naija News reports that Mrs. Buhai announced her decision to be addressed as the “First Lady” of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, on Thursday night, June 13, at an event held at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
This online news platform recalls that Mrs. Buhari was addressed as ‘Wife of the President’ throughout the first four years tenure of her husband.
Mrs. Buhai, who revealed her new official title at the presentation of awards to immediate past governors’ wives and current governors’ wives of the 36 states of the Federation, said the decision became imperative in order to stop the confusion which enveloped her former “wife of the President” title.
She noted that the new designation would take immediate effect in order to resolve the issue of the title of wives of governors.
Her words: “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 chose to be called the First Lady,” Mrs. Buhari added.
