AISHA DUMPS BUHARI
Indeed, these are not interesting times for former president Muhammadu Buhari and his household.
The former president who retired to his home in Daura, Katsina state after an uneventful eight years in office is said not to be enjoying the best of times. A family source who spoke to Cross Fire said, “”this is not the kind of lonely life in retirement that the ex-president envisaged for himself””.
The source of Buhari”s loneliness is the cold unofficial divorce served on him by the former first lady, Aisha Buhari.
