LunagisthubAisha Buhari Reveals the Real Reason Behind Former President’s 2017 Health Crisis
The former First Lady of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari, has shed light on the circumstances surrounding her husband’s health crisis in 2017. According to her, the illness was not caused by a mysterious ailment or poisoning, but rather a broken feeding routine and mismanaged nutrition .
Aisha Buhari explained that she had long supervised her husband’s meals and supplements at specific hours, which helped him maintain strength despite his history of malnutrition symptoms. She emphasized the importance of gentle and consistent support for elderly bodies, stating, “Elderly bodies require gentle, consistent support. He doesn’t have a chronic illness. Keep him on schedule” .However, the routine was disrupted due to gossip and fearmongering within the Presidency. Aisha Buhari revealed that rumors spread that she was planning to kill her husband, which led to President Buhari locking his room, changing his habits, and stopping his supplements. “Then came the gossip and the fearmongering. They said I wanted to kill him,” she said. “My husband believed them for a week or so” .
The disruption of the feeding routine and supplement schedule led to a significant decline in President Buhari’s health, resulting in two extended medical trips to the United Kingdom in 2017. During this period, he transferred power to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and received blood transfusions .
Aisha Buhari played a crucial role in her husband’s recovery by managing his nutrition and supplement intake. She even secretly mixed supplements into his juice and oats when he was initially hesitant to take them. The former First Lady described the turnaround as swift, noting that President Buhari threw away his walking stick after just three days and began receiving relatives after a week .
