Nigerians react to Buhari’s alleged Igbo mistress Jasmine

The rumours rocked Nigerian social media on July 13 that there is a mystery Igbo woman in Aso Rock, who widens the existing gap between President Muhammadu Buhari and his wife Aisha. Mystery-002 An unknown Nairaland user posted a story from the Guardiannewsusa.com. The story reads: “There is a mystery first lady in Nigeria, widening the existing gap between President Buhari and the official First Lady, Aisha.
The “Young Igbo Girl” as Buhari’s close confidants would call her had often visited the president from Canada where she lived as a spy-agent, until she was finally relocated to Abuja to be close to him. Since her arrival Aisha has been kept away from the president, with excuses about his deteriorating health, it was gathered.” The mystery lady reportedly identified as the president’s mistress is a light skinned journalist based in Canada.  “Looking chic in her late 30s, she was brought back to Nigeria and lodged in an exquisite suite on the third level of an Abuja five star hotel. “She spend most times with the President, and helps him with media stuff” confided an informant. It was also gathered that this mystery lady operates and heads a team that helps President Buhari to identify bloggers and activists bitterly opposed to his regime,” the report added. “Aisha Buhari has since been sidelined on activities of Aso Rock, but staffers loyal to her are not taking it likely. “Why would the wife of the President need a protocol to see her husband? I totally disagree with this nonsense, and if they want fire, we will give them fire” said one of Aisha’s Aso Rock informant who vowed to leak to the media, the unfolding drama surrounding the presidency.” Nigerians immediately reacted to the rumours: @Enwagboso I can’t just stop laughing, so Buhari at 74 has a mistress @mr_ochonogor@iykimo@HenshawKate — Otunba Babalola J. (@OtunbaBabalola) July 7, 2016 One of them asked: “Will people sacrifice their life and energy reporting news about Buhari alone?” “I don’t believe Buhari likes this ‘kind of thing’. I don’t believe it,” Nairaland user added. Omotayor appealed to Nigerians not to spread the rumours: “I see Some people want to cause ‘A crack in the wall ‘. It will only be foolish of Aisha to take this to heart.” “What sort of trash story is this?” – added another reader. “For every rumour, there is an iota of truth,” supposed Nigerian man. “I am not his fan but I don’t think Buhari get time for totomeleto again. Hogwash. But sha, na man he be, anything can happen,” added Ajepako. Read some more reactions below: “I believe the part where Aisha did not follow Buhari to hospital. That’s strange even if there is no mystery lady I think Buhari and his wife are not in good relationship at the moment. You rarely see them together.” “PMB needs every reliable hand he can get. And if this story is real, then that’s his business. Who are we to judge? This may be a blessing in disguise.” “I learnt Buhari was shy for the opposite sex when he first resumed office, so now, his eyes opened.” “Buhari will never be taken in by a non-Muslim woman. I can imagine he is angry with Aisha because of certain ‘excesses’ she indulges in. I know he could restrict her access to him as punishment.” “Which Igbo girl would touch a Fulani?” “First Buhari and his co tried to sell us story that one of his daughter is married to an “Igbo man from Anambra”. “Next they tried to sell us story that PMB was friends with Ojukwu that he jailed for no reason and helped his family on many occasions. Let’s ask the family of Ojukwu so we can verify your statement. “Now the new story Buhari and his team seem to have come up to is that he has a “young fair Igbo girl” living in Canada as his mistress that he moved to Abuja. Just the Anambra man that was supposedly married his daughter; tell us the name of the Igbo girl, her village as well as her picture. Those in Canada can verify it for us.”
