As the news of Buhari taking one of his ministers…Posted by Media Parrot Ng on Thursday, 10 October 2019
Many people believe the video was taken on Thursday night after the president’s wife arrived at the Aso Rock.
Similar messages hit the social networking site this week in Nigeria.
What is the truth of the matter
A source in the presidency said:
“The idea of extending President Buhari’s marriage is not true. That’s not the case,”
But he said Aisha Buhari had for a long time been away from the country. In fact, she has spent four months in London.
The source said there had been a ‘long line of’ clashes between the president and his wife.
Based on a video showing a woman fighting in a house like Aso Rock, the source confirmed that it was Aisha Buhari.
The source said the video was old and had been taken for more than two years.
So far, the Presidency has said nothing on this matter, and the minister has not issued a statement to confirm or confirm the incident.
But Minister Sadiya Umar Farouk posted a series of photos and messages on her Twitter account Thursday showing that she is in Geneva to attend a meeting.

This further show is that marriage is not true – since it would be impossible to marry her when she’s away from the country, and then the video that is said to be of her wedding is proven to be untrue.
Some of the videos were even taken as she was taking the oath of office when she was sworn in as a minister.
Conclusion
According to information gathered from various sources in the Presidency, there is no truth in the matter that President Muhammadu Buhari will remarry on Friday 11 October 2019.
However, several sources have confirmed that there is ‘disagreement’ between the president’s wife, Aisha Buhari and some of the president’s supporters on the one hand – and some of his friends at the Aso Rock presidential villa.
This is in line with Aisha Buhari’s decision to spend several months abroad instead of staying with her husband at the Aso Rock Palace in Abuja.
