Legit.ng had earlier reported that Mrs Buhari returned back to the country on the night of Wednesday, March 17 after spending six months in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The president's wife quietly relocated abroad after Hanan, one of her daughters, got married in September 2020.
Meanwhile, wedding bells are ringing in the home of the first family in Nigeria as President Buhari’s son, Yusuf, will be getting married soon.
Reports say the president’s only son will soon walk down the aisle with the daughter of the Emir of Bichi in Kano, Princess Zahra Bayero.
It was also revealed that the nuptials would have already taken place if not for the First Lady’s six-month trip to Dubai.
