The wife of Nigeria President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, has gotten a surprise birthday cake from a delegation of Nigerian governors’ wives who visited her in Dubai.
A video showing Nigerian governors’ wives led by Erelu Bisi Fayemi, wife of Ekiti Governor visiting Mrs Buhari with various gifts has stirred massive reactions on Twitter amid fuel scarcity and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike.
The delegation was in Dubai to felicitate with the first lady who recently clocked 51 on the 17th of February, 2022.
Apart from the cake, Mrs Buhari was also presented with a bouquet of flowers.
In the video, the women all milled around in a palatial room as they walked towards Aisha in droves, singing her a happy birthday song.
Camera flashes were everywhere in the room as the first lady with a smiling and happy face hugged some of them.

Other reactions on Twitter condemned the action of the first ladies as very insensitive at a time when Nigerians are grappling with the challenges of fuel scarcity, ASUU strike, inflation, and many other issues.
Below are some of the reactions on Twitter culled by Newsflash Nigeria:
@Theoladeledada, “Nigerian Governors Wives fly to Dubai to present Aisha Buhari with birthday cake while Fuel Scarcity hasn’t been resolved & ASUU has dreadlock 😂 done for them by FG. I have seen Clowns, but this is the peak”.
@Sam_Davoclyn1, “Aisha Buhari has been in Dubai enjoying her life while governor’s wives spearheaded by Fayemi’s wife travelled to physically present birthday cakes to her. Same way Stella OBJ and Patience GEJ corruptly enjoyed thiers in their respective ways..”
@renibams, “Daddy Buhari is cooling in London, Aisha Buhari is chilling with the big girls (First ladies) in Dubai, no fuel in Nigeria. Buhari is the best president in the world. How I wish he can continue beyond 2023… Daddy Folake Lil Kesh Dreadlock”
@ButterflyOrder, “The seat of the First Lady has been dormant as Aisha Buhari is being visited and celebrated in Dubai for fleeing from her people. Nigeria deserves better, May God break this spell that blinds the citizens from seeing the truth about those vying for political offices in Nigeria”.
@OgbonnaCelesti9, “Who do us like this,no fuel, ASUU on strike, Buhari in London for medical tourism #Aisha Buhari is in Dubai enjoy 24hrs light while heat is killing us because we don’t have light and you expect me not to agitate for #Biafra . Give us #Biafra
@henryshield, “Nigerian Governors Wives fly to Dubai to present Aisha Buhari with birthday cake while ASUU is on strike. You’ll expect that the optics should affect them, especially as this is a campaign year but they knowNigerians well. I’ve seen stupidity in governance but this takes the ice.”
@jacksonpbn, “Nigeria’s governors’ wives led by Bisi Fayemi travelled to Dubai to present Aisha Buhari with a birthday cake. No fuel in Nigeria for the common man but Aisha and her husband can enjoy life outside of Nigeria while citizens suffer!”
