Angels fly because they take themselves lightly. They do not think too much of themselves, so does Hajia Aisha Buhari. Like an angel, the woman who simply wishes to be called “Wife of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria” takes herself very lightly despite her social and political weight.
There is no gainsaying the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari belongs to the league of Nigeria’s most humble women; she wears her badge of temperance and humility in the shape of a bow of ribbon thus affirming that she isn’t what many of her disparagers make her out to be.
Contrary to misconceptions about her character, Hajia Aisha, according to sources close to her, is actually a modest, compassionate, accommodating and understanding woman. Her only shortcoming, if at all it could be considered ‘shortcoming,’ is her good fashion sense and lack of tolerance for sycophancy.
Some days ago, a black crocodile skin Hermes Birkin handbag toted by Mrs. Buhari caused a social media storm, as Nigerians took to different social media platforms to express their mixed feelings.
Mrs. Buhari was spotted, at the airport in Washington D.C., with the 35cm Porosus Crocodile bag, said to be expensive. Of course, some recalled that Mrs. Buhari had always had taste for good things, alluding to the expensive Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-carat white gold wristwatch which she wore at her husband’s inauguration in May 2015. But wait a minute! Because every woman always like expensive bags and jewelry, there are possibilities that she may have gotten these items even before her husband became President. The bag might even be a gift to her.
Aisha’s womanliness commands the respect and admiration of her closest associates and even passing acquaintances. However, what makes her peerless has little to do with her gracefulness, beauty and infectious modesty; it has more to do with her towering humility, forthrightness and capacity to admit to imperfections that remain a blight to the most lovable mortal.
