A former media aide to late former President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, has debunked claims that former First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has agreed to marry former Minister, Isa Ali Pantami.
Ahmad, in a post on Wednesday, via his official Facebook account, said some people have been pushing the narrative and sharing it on several platforms.
According to him, while the claim is something any reasonable person would dismiss outrightly, it is necessary to debunk it to prevent false information from spreading.
Naija News reports that Ahmad emphasized that there is no truth in the claims that Aisha has agreed to marry Pantami.
He wrote, “This is not even a claim that should warrant serious debunking, because any reasonable person would dismiss it outright. However, given that some individuals continue to push and circulate it, it is now necessary to state that the story claiming Hajiya Aisha Buhari agreed to marry Sheikh Isa Ali Pantami is completely false. There is absolutely no truth to it whatsoever.”
In other news, former First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has disclosed that her late husband, former President Muhammadu Buhari, died of pneumonia and not cancer, contrary to widely circulated reports suggesting pulmonary lymphoma or leukaemia.
Aisha’s account is contained in a new biography titled From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari, authored by Dr Charles Omole.
The book revealed that the final days of Buhari’s life, shortly after the completion of his eight-year tenure as president, were traumatic for his family due to serious health challenges.
Recounting the experience, Aisha Buhari said, “The final days were difficult. ICU for some days, then the ward, then the slide.
“The last three days were the worst.”
