PHOTOS: Atiku hosts Aisha Buhari in Abuja, says visit underscores need for ‘better Nigeria’

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Wednesday hosted Aisha Buhari, wife of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, at his residence in Abuja. 

In a statement shared on his X handle, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Party (ADC) said Aisha’s visit was warm and deeply appreciated.

The former vice-president did not disclose why the former first lady visited him but said the visit emphasised the need for everyone desirous of a better Nigeria to always put the welfare, dignity and future of the people first.

“Today, I was delighted to receive former First Lady, H.E. Aisha Buhari,” Atiku wrote.

“Her visit was warm and deeply appreciated. Beyond the courtesies of the occasion, it was also a reminder of the urgent responsibility before all who seek a better Nigeria: to put the welfare, dignity and future of our people first.”

The former vice-president said across the country, many families are being stretched by rising costs of food, transport, education, healthcare and other basic necessities.

He said Nigerians deserve an economy that rewards hard work, restores opportunity and allows every family to live with dignity and hope.

“That is the Nigeria we must build together, a country that works for its people again,” he said.

“We must ease the burden, restore hope and Make Nigeria Affordable Again.”

After Buhari’s death in London on July 13, 2025, Aisha and her family members relocated from Daura, his hometown in Katsina state, to the family’s residence in Ungwan Rimi GRA, Kaduna, in late July 2025.

In May, Yusuf Buhari won the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary for the Sandamu/Daura/Mai’adua federal constituency seat in Katsina.
