President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha Buhari, has been flown to Dubai, United Arab Emirates for severe neck pain treatment.
According to Sahara Reporters, Aisha was flown out of Nigeria during the recent Sallah holiday after she complained of neck pain for about two weeks before that time.
The neck pain started shortly after she came back to Abuja from a trip to Lagos in July where she visited Florence Ajimobi over the death of her husband who died of COVID-19 complications on June 25, 2020.
While confirming the report, a top Presidential aide said: “The First Lady started having severe neck pain during the 2019 Presidential electioneering. And she sought treatment abroad afterwards.
“However, recently the pain returned and was even worse than the first time. So, she was flown out last week. It was indeed a medical emergency.”
When Aisha Buhari’s spokesman, Aliyu Abdullah was contacted on phone said he did not know whether his principal had travelled out of the country or not.
He said: “I have not been to the Villa for the last two weeks so I cannot say for sure if she is in the country or not. However, I can categorically tell you that there is no emergency.”
The President’s wife also travelled out of the country for several weeks last year to treat an undisclosed ailment.
