At a time when President Mohammadu Buhari`s led government is demanding that Nigerians embrace austere living, Aisha Buhari, wife of the President Of Nigeria arrived the United States of America, Wednesday, for a one-week visit spotting a Hermes Birkin Bag 35cm Porosus Crocodile Gold Hardware bag.
Huhuonline.com checks reveals that the bag cost a whopping one hundred and five thousand dollars ($105,000.00) or naira equivalent of forty million nine hundred and fifty thousand naira (N40, 950,000.00).
Recall that in 2014, her husband, who is considered incorruptible, announced to Nigerians that he took a loan of N27.5m from his bank to purchase APC nomination forms.
His words:
“You could recall in the entire contest, I have always tried to personally pay for the nomination form at least. But N27.5m is not small.”
“Thank God, I have a personal relationship with the chairman of my bank. I called him and told him that the forms are coming and so, whether my accounts are in red or green or black, you must honour this, otherwise, I will lose the nomination.
“I was about to go to Kaduna today and told the chairman and he said, ‘you better pick the form’ and he kept a straight face. That means that there is no excuse.
“I thank God that we have gotten to this stage and all speculations will now cease and now, in the best tradition of democracy, people can now follow their choice candidate into the arena,”
Mrs. Aisha Buhari was until 2015, a hair dresser/cosmetologist, who operated a small hairdressing saloon in Kaduna. She closed her shop to become Nigeria’s First Lady.
Mrs. Buhari is billed to attend meetings at the George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia and will also be hosted by the United States Institute of Peace, in collaboration with Voice of America, as well as attend the 25th anniversary celebration of Zumunta Association
