@RealMrKay said:

"I have no problem with Aisha Buhari celebrating her birthday. My only concern is making Dubai the capital city of Nigeria. It’s only in Nigeria that a First Lady will abandon her country for a saner country."

"I really do not have a problem with this, a lot of average Nigerians travel to Dubai, US and other Countries for this too. Obviously, she has the money to travel and Nigerians Money. But why will wives of some Governors travel all the way to Dubai to deliver a cake?"

Aisha Buhari speak on Nigerians in Ukraine

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that the efforts of Nigerian diplomats to ensure the safe evacuation of stranded citizens in war-torn Ukraine were commended by Aisha Buhari.

However, in a Facebook post on Sunday, February 27, the Nigerian first lady called on the Presidential Task on COVID-19 to wave the payment for their test on the arrival of citizens from the European nation.

She also pleaded that similar fees should be abolished for all Nigerian children who are returning home soon and reduce the cost of the tests for all nationals.
