Legit.ng gathered that the senior special assistant to the president on administration and women affairs, Hajo Sani, authored the book, which is a biography of the First Lady.
She said:
“Another issue that stirred controversy was her statement on 9 October 2017, at a stakeholders’ meeting on Reproductive Maternal, Nutrition, Child Advocacy and Health, and Nutrition (RMNCAHN) at the State House, Abuja, in which she spoke about issues of national importance concerning healthcare services. She found it appalling that when she fell ill, she was advised to travel to London for treatment, though she refused."
Sahara Reporters also reports that Sani said Aisha had to visit a private clinic after she discovered that the x-ray machine of the State House clinic was not working.
The aide noted that the First Lady has been consistent in warning politicians against politicizing the issues of health and women empowerment.
However, Aisha’s husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, is currently receiving medical treatment in London.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that President Buhari on Thursday, April 8, disclosed that he is taking a short rest in London.
