The spokesperson further stated that “I go tell you 100 percent say our First Lady dey perfectly okay and no get any disease or pregnancy as some dey report.”
In one of the photos seen by The Gazette, Mrs Buhari, alongside her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, was surrounded by security officials, with one of them carrying her handbags.
