Late President Buhari's Wife Aisha has revealed that her late husband , Muhammadu Buhari, started locking his room, following gossips in Aso Rock that she planned to k!ll him.
She revealed that the health crisis that forced Buhari to take 154 days of medical leave in 2017 started with a broken feeding routine and mismanaged feeding..jpg)
This account was revealed in a newly launched 600-page biography: "From Soldier to Statesman: The legacy of Muhammadu Buhari , written by Dr. Charles Imole, launched at the State house on Monday Dec 15th.
The book narrated Buhari's early life in Daura, Katsina State, until his final hours in a London hospital in mid July 2025.
According to the book, Aisha Buhari had long handled her husband's meals and supplements at specific hours, an exercise she said, had helped a slender man with a long history of malnutrition symptoms maintain strength.
Elderly bodies require gentle, consistent support,” she recalled, adding: “He doesn’t have a chronic illness. Keep him on schedule.”
A part in the book reads: “According to Aisha Buhari, her husband’s 2017 health crisis did not originate as a mysterious ailment or a covert plot. It started, she says, with the loss of a routine; ‘my nutrition,’ she describes it, a pattern of meals and supplements she had long overseen in Kaduna before they moved into Aso Villa.”
Aisha had called a meeting with close staff, including the physician , Suhayb Rafindadi, CSO, Bashir Abubakar, housekeeper and SSG DG to explain the plan.
According to Omole, she said;
"Daily, cups, and bowls with tailored vitamins powders and oils, a touch of protein here, a change of cereal there , elderly bodies require gentle , consistent support".
However, the routine soon faded out
Then came the gossip and the fear mongering , They said I wanted to kill him", the book quoted her as saying .
She revealed that the late President began locking his room,changed small habits, and crucially, meals were delayed or missed, the supplements were stopped and for a year, he did not have lunch as they mismanaged his meals.
The decline in his feeding regimen resulted to Buhari's two extended medical trips to the United Kingdom totalling 154 days in 2017 during which he ceded authority to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
When he returned from the medical trip, he admitted to being "never too ill" and having received blood transfusions.
Always blame the woman. At a point he looked like a hanger the way his clothes hung on him. Imagine being president of a nation and being underfed and malnourished. So it was just kwashiokor in high office.

ReplyDeleteIt is well maam
The dead tell no stories
ReplyDeletePlease, don't put back the hands of the clock or remind the citizens of a calamitous ruler!😖😖😖😖
ReplyDeleteMany Nigerians were malnourished and died under Buhari's administrations, both as a military HoS and civilian president.
His malnutrition was at least his own choice and not caused by the citizens he misgoverned.
Buhari has gone to where earthly nutrition and nutritional supplements no longer count.

ReplyDeleteI believe that this man died that year long ago in London. There is no way that British government would have released a message to mourn with Nigeria if he wasn’t confirmed dead, no way at all.
ReplyDeleteSo the remaining of his tenure was taken over by ‘Jibril’. They should get out
